[rrd-users] Re: [RRD] - MRTG Problem with WorkDir

[Jo Becaus]

William, 

I agree it does work for the path where RRDTOOL itself is installed.

The issue is that the WorkDir cannot handle Driveletters where the rrd
files will be stored, not in the PathAdd.

WorkDir: /STORAGE/INETPUB/WWWROOT/MRTG/PRODUCTION/

It will work when using P:/ STORAGE/INETPUB/WWWROOT/MRTG/PRODUCTION/ but
then I am not able to generate graphs via CGI file and returns an error
related to the fact the drive letter is in the path.

Kind regards, Jo

I disagree that RRDTool cannot handle your P:.  I'm running v1.0.48 with
this in my master.cfg file without issue (note the workdir).  Perhaps
you
are running an older version that doesn't support this (aka what version
of
rrdtool are you running)???

##### change dirs as needed versions etc etc ####

PathAdd: C:\MRTG\MRTG\bin
LibAdd: C:\MRTG\MRTG\lib\mrtg2

PathAdd: C:\MRTG\RRDTool\src\tool_release
# LibAdd: C:\MRTG\RRDTool\Perl-Shared

###### the rest of your cfg file here #####

Since I have changed paths I receive error message when running the cfg
file.

 

C:\>perl p:\storage\mrtg\bin\mrtg
p:\storage\inetpub\wwwroot\mrtg\configuration\

devices\belgium\be001s022.cfg

ERROR: CFG Error in "workdir", line 10: Working directory
/STORAGE/INETPUB/WWWRO

OT/MRTG/PRODUCTION/ does not exist

 

RRD is installed in P:\Storage\RRDTOOL

MRTG is installed in P:\Storage\MRTG

 

Off course I cannot use a P drive in the WorkDir path cause perl/MRTG
can't handle that.

 

Even it gives an error it is still updating CPU values in the graphs?

Only the memory value isn't being updated, but I can query the value via
snmpget.

 

This is a cfg file from the server.
