[mrtg] MRTG with RRD tool using 14all.cgi script

[John Young]

Thank you kindly for these tips.  I made these configuration changes and
everything is running fine.

If I want to change to lower intervals than 5 minutes, I only need to
change:

the crontab -e job from 5 * * * * to 2(or whatever minutes) * * * *
change the device config and add Interval: 2
remove the old RRD files
and recreate the .rrd files

Is that all I need to do?  I see the 2 minutes intervals on the graphs,
however the data still looks like it's updating every five minutes.  Maybe
there is not enough bandwidth for the snmp polling?  I only need the snmpd
installed before mrtg correct?

Cheers.
