[mrtg] Re: Hi, new to MRTG, having some problems

[John Barbieri]

Those files are the HTML files and pictures it generates. It updates the 
daily one every five minutes, and the weekly one 30 hours, and so on. 
the files wont get bigger at all. You will be fine.

For ease of use, you should use index maker to be able to see all the 
graphs on one page (if your monitoring multiple files)

The syntax should be (in Unix, not sure about windows)

indexmaker /path/to/config > /path/to/webdir/mrtg/index.html


Cheers,

John Barbieri
