[mrtg] MRTG Graphs not populating.

[Kevin P. Foote]

Always hit the docs first.. there is a section called "RUNNING MRTG"

http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-unix-guide.en.html

In your case .. 

/usr/bin/mrtg /path/to/your.cfg --logging /path/to/your/mrtg.log

I use /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log for my location .. you can use what ever
suits you.

You can run from the shell just as you run it from crontab.. 

#> env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg bla bla bla bla

-> I have been monitoring my t-1 lines for about 3 years and have never realy had a problem.  My server crashed and I rebuilt on a VM. It has been so long that I do not remember anything that I had to do to get things running.  I did have some old back ups of cfg file.  I have re-installed and I am haing a strange issue.  I monitor multiple interfaces on 3 devices.  Here is the strange part.  On one device I am collecting information on 2 of the 3 interfaces.  One is completely blank.  The second device collect the information for my remote sites.  I am getting information on 4 of the 7.  So 3 are blank.  On the last device I am missing information on 1 of the 2 interfaces.  The config is the same one I used on the old server so that should not be the problem.  Each device is giving information, so I know the SNMP is working.  I am lost.  Please let me know if you need any further information.
