[mrtg] all generated files going to last workdir of included cfg files in mrtg.cfg

[Jason R. Butterfield]

Ahh, thanks William, that was enough to help me figure it out.

I forgot to mention that I want to have my cfgmaker and indexmaker running on a cron, so the generation of the cfg and html files can be updated regularly to catch newly in service switch ports, etc.  -without having admin-down entries clutter things.  I finally got my syntax working, and for anyone else trying to do this, here's what my cfgmaker and indexmaker syntax look like:

cfgmaker --global "workdir: /var/www/mrtg" --subdirs="10.1.1.1_gracerouter2.gracecottage.int" --ifref=name --output /etc/mrtg/c2801.cfg --global 'options[_]: growright,bits' ****@10.1.1.1<mailto:****@10.1.1.1>

indexmaker /etc/mrtg/c2801.cfg > /var/www/mrtg/c2801.html

I have one master config with workdir specified and then a separate "Directory[_]: Device" included in all of my include files. This seems to work well. If you can overlook the fact that I'm running on Windows, this is an example of my master.cfg and a server.

Master.cfg
##### change dirs as needed versions etc etc ####
PathAdd: D:\mrtg\bin
PathAdd: D:\rrdtool

###### the rest of your cfg file here #####
LogFormat: rrdtool
WorkDir: D:\mrtg\data\
EnableIPv6: no
Refresh: 300
Interval: 5

Include: D:\mrtg\configs\server1.cfg
Include: D:\mrtg\configs\server2.cfg
Include: D:\mrtg\configs\device1.cfg
Include: D:\mrtg\configs\device2.cfg




server1.cfg
Directory[_]: PICBI002
routers.cgi*Desc: PICBI002

My mrtg.cfg utilizes the 'Include:' feature to pull in config files for a handful of devices.

In each of the device.cfg files, I specify a different 'workdir' to keep things separated per device.

When I run mrtg (I have the cron disabled while I figure this out) everything seems to work fine, except that all of the files generated go in the 'workdir' specified by the last cfg file 'included' in the mrtg.cfg.  So things look fine from a web browser for the last device in the config, but not for the rest since the html indices point to the respective directories where nothing is being updated...

Specifically -my mrtg.cfg file:

**snip**
HtmlDir: /var/www/mrtg
ImageDir: /var/www/mrtg
LogDir: /var/lib/mrtg
ThreshDir: /var/lib/mrtg
Include: sw375024sv01.cfg      #[workdir line in cfg file == workdir: /var/www/mrtg/10.4.88.232_sw375024sv01.gracecottage.int]
Include: sw356024sv02.cfg     #[workdir: /var/www/mrtg/10.4.88.235_sw356024sv02.gracecottage.int]
Include: c2801.cfg     #[workdir: /var/www/mrtg/10.1.1.1_gracerouter2.gracecottage.int]
**snip**

All html/log/png files are created in the last workdir: /var/www/mrtg/10.1.1.1_gracerouter2.gracecottage.int

I'm a bit stumped.

Any thoughts or input would be most appreciated.
