<a href="http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker" target="_blank">http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker</a> will do the trick nicely.</font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">Make sure you use the 5-min load average, not the 1-min or 15-min, if you are polling at 5-min frequency (but use the 1-min if you are polling at 1-min frequency, of course)</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">If you cannot use SNMP, then you might like to use the Nagios NRPE agent with the check_load plugin, then use the mrtg-nrpe plugin for MRTG to allow MRTG to query the values fomr the Nagios agent. mrtg-nrpe is in
the 'extras' directory of the standard Routers2 package from <a href="http://www.steveshipway.org/software" target="_blank">
