[mrtg] Re: Templates

[Tim Sheets]

Yes, take a look at the cfgmaker manual for a list of valid vairables for use within templates.  I believe that is your problem.  There is a sample near the end of the doc.  I would (and did) start with that, and get that to work, then start tweaking to make it do what you want.

Hi,

Everything with a $ infront of it are variables, you need to replace them with the correct values.

$CFGNAME is usually how you name the device and MRTG will generate files based on that.

$INSTANCE need to be replace with what you want to monitor.

$COMMUNITY is the name of the SNMP community, usually public.

$IP is the IP of the device.

Good luck.
