[mrtg] Re: Utility for mrtg to autodiscover what is available to monitor

[Jason Humes]

So I could build a template with traffic, CPU, memory, etc and just use that
with mrtg cfgmaker whenever I run my initial scan.  Great, I'll have to look
into how to do this exactly, but thanks.

You can do this by using a host template when you build your config.  

routers2.cgi will display it if your config contains it.  But, you have to
have it in your config (and logging data) before routers2.cgi (or any other
front-end) can show it to you.

host templates are what you want to play with.
