Hi ya

I downloading and installed the RedHat 7 RPM of this, added it to the CRON list - but now what do I do?

Are there any special things I should do/know?

How can I view the usuage?

Thanks for any help :)

Did you install SNMP? Is it running? Did you configure MRTG to use the SNMP community on the box you're monitoring? Did you look at the SNMP config file? Did you look at the MRTG config file? Did you RTFM? (man MRTG? man snmpd?)

A little more information would be appreciated. It's also good when you let us know what kind of legwork you've done on your own.

Hi,

Not sure if SNMP is installed - it is a default RedHat 7.1 build.
I installed it via the RPM which should have configured it.
I looked at the MRTG config file and it has this


######################################################################
# Multi Router Traffic Grapher -- Example Configuration File

# This file is for use with mrtg-2.0

# Where should the logfiles, and webpages be created?

I tried reading the info on the website, but I kept on going around in circles.

this thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=20548&highlight=mrtg) might help you.

I assume you want to run it for your linux box and you can't actually get the info from a router?
