hi josh,

Here are my steps if they can help you out.

I can tell you the steps for Solaris 8 becuz mine is running on it.

1. I running MRTG for last 1 month on that box, and last week compiled
RRDTool.
2. I have bunch of MRTG configs and I picked one and renamed it.
3. Change the WorkDir to some new directory
4. copied all the files from old WorkDir to this new WorkDir
5. Add these three lines :

LogFormat: rrdtool
PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/bin/
LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/lib/perl/

5a. run one time manually the MRTG on the newly named cfg file. and saw mrtg
is going to convert all *.log to *.rrd.
6. download 14all.cgi into httpd cgi-bin directory
7. change its permission to executable
8. changed the following entries in 14all.cgi according to my machine:

use lib qw(/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/lib/perl);
$cfgfile = '/usr/local/etc/mrtg/BigIron8000Exodus1.rrdtool.autocfg';

9. hit the cgi-bin/14all.cgi and it gaves me error about *.pm (the perl
modules) Not Found.
10. I copied all those modules to /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.33/lib/perl and
then its start working

i hope it will help you, but i didn't tried on WINNT ...

Thanks,
Shoaib

I am having a problem just implementing the rrdtool with MRTG .. I
followed step by step instructions on the web for WINNT so if someone
has successfully implemented RRDTOOL with MRTG please contact me
I call the webpage UP and it says NO GRAPHS TO DISPLAY
it looks like it is trying to search for the pictures but cannot find
it.
 
I appreciate all the help from everyone on the list who has been
directly helping. I appreciate it ( you know who you are)
I am about two or three steps of troubleshooting away from completeing
it so if someone can help me let me know
thx
josh

	Hi,
	I switched from MRTG to RRDTool becuz i wanna add third line in
a MRTG graph
	showing the sum of other two(in and out).
	I installed RRDTool successfully, added "LogFormat", "PathAdd",
"LibAdd" in
	one of MRTG 2.9.6 config files, installed 14all.cgi and
successfully able to
	see the graphs generated by 14all.cgi .. and good thing is they
are almost
	same as what I have seen in MRTG.
	
	My question is, now how and where can i integrate more RRDTool
commands in
	order to get my desired results or graphs.
	
	I m running Solaris 8 with RRDTool 1.0.33 and MRTG 2.9.6.
	
	Any FAQ or helpful link highly appreciated.
	
	TIA,
	Shoaib
