[mrtg] Newbie - setting up templates

[Cristine Warring]

Hello -
 

I have mrtg up and running on RedHat, both polling hosts and interfaces.
However, due to the number of devices I need to monitor and Somix's
repository, I want to use templates to make this easier to get started
and maintain long-term.

 

The newbie question is:

 

How/where do I set the Perl variables so I don't get Perl errors when I
run cfgmaker?  I've searched the FAQ, the listserv archive, Google, and
cannot find any step by step examples.  

 

Here's my cfgmaker call, my template, and the errors - much TIA -
Cristine

 

bin/cfgmaker \

     --global 'WorkDir: /home/sites/mrtg' \

     --global 'RunAsDaemon: Yes' \

     --output /home/sites/mrtg/cfg/aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.cfg \

     --ifref=name \

     --ifdesc=name \

     --show-op-down \

     --subdirs=HOSTNAME \

     --if-template=/home/sites/mrtg/cfg/cisco.template \

     public at aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

 

 

ECHO

 

$target_lines .= <<ECHO
