I checked in /etc/cron.d, the mrtg file is there with the following entry: 0-55/5 * * * * root if [ -x /usr/bin/mrtg ] &amp;&amp; [ -r /etc/mrtg.cfg ]; then env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg &gt;&gt; /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log 2&gt;&amp;1; fi The log file listed in the cron job hasn't been updated in 2 days either, even after manually starting mrtg.

I am graphing a port in two ways. One is in Cacti, one is with MRTG. Both are using 64bit counters (I have even setup the MRTG configuration to specifically use the HC OIDs rather than assuming they are being queried by specifying :::::2) In Cacti, I get the correct value (approximately 700-800Mbps per second.) In MRTG, it is never more than 190-200Mbps. My MRTG configuration looks like this: WorkDir:/var/www/mrtg Forks: 30 Refresh: 300 Interval: 5 MaxAge: 999999999999999999999999 SnmpOptions: retries =&gt; 1, timeout =&gt; 1 LogFormat: rrdtool Options[DAS-c3229-bandwidth]: growright,bits,nolegend,nobanner,nopercent Directory[DAS-c3229-bandwidth]: DAS-c3229 Target[DAS-c3229-bandwidth]: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.140&amp;1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.140:8GF8961u&lt; at &gt;24.160.238.254: ::::2 Exte</pre> Simon Westlake 2013-05-15T02:26:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.mrtg.user/36933 <pre>Have what could be a simple question. When monitoring an SNMP device w/MRTG, is it possible to plot the data from two devices on a single graph? I have two temperature probes.

As an example I take a graph with statistics of our virus scanner for the E-mail. The in channel shows the rate of all mail, the in channel shows the rate mail with detected malware. The full rate varies between 5 and 100 mails per hour, but mail with malware is seen only a few times per week. (The count is so low, because there is a front-end system that already filters out most of the malware.) So, the daily graph usually shows no malware or one or two spikes for the malware. The weekly graph shows a little bit of "grass" for the malware. The monthly graph shows some more "grass". The problem is the yearly graph. It shows some "grass" only for about the last 60 days. The grass disappears after about 60 days. I took a snapshot of the graphs on January 1st. The yearly graph created on January 1st shows the "grass" for the months December and November. The yearly graph created yesterday, shows the "grass" for the months </pre> Fred Zwarts (KVI 2013-03-27T08:22:48 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.mrtg.user/36911 <pre>Hi All, I am recording error counts from the stats of an ADSL modem and during a power surge the count seems to have gone through the roof. As a result, in any graph other than this week's I cannot see anything but than a massive spike. All historical data counts are too small in comparison to be visible. When I was using rateup logs I could always have a quick look in the data and edit the offending readings to smaller values. With rrd the entries are in hex and I can't really trust myself to edit any of it. Is there a simple solution to this problem? </pre> Mick 2013-03-26T19:25:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.mrtg.user/36910 <pre>Hi All, We have a Palo Alto 200 firewall device in our WAN routing setup. Along with the firewall features it provides, the device is also used to establish two ipsec-based VPN tunnels (using two different WAN links) to our HQ office located at a remote location. I have limited access to this device and all I know about it is it's SNMP read-only community string and it's IP address. I also know that the interface names for the two tunnels are tunnel.1 and tunnel.4 and the IP addresses used for the tunnel interfaces are 10.&lt;a.b&gt;.2 and 10.&lt;c.d&gt;.2 respectively. When I try to create a cfg file using the "/usr/bin/cfgmaker --output=/etc/mrtg/paloalto.cfg --global 'workdir: /var/www/mrtg' -ifref=eth --global 'options[_]: growright,bits' --snmp-options=:::::2 &lt;comm_string&gt;&lt; at &gt;&lt;device_ip&gt; " command on my MRTG host, the cfg file I get doesn't list out any of the tunnel interfaces.

Here goes... Theres a million ciso switches in the world so someone else has to have the same problem as I do. I setup everything and its working fine until I try to run the cfgmaker with the --ifref=descr --ifdesc=descr options. The Cisco switch interface names are GigabitInterface1/0/1 etc... and this is an invalid file name in windows. Soooooo how to tou get around this. Can I some how map the slashes '/' to underscores '_' so that windows will create the output HTML files when I execute the perl mrtg mrtg.cfg command?? I tried to set a description on the port within Cisco and MRTG doesnt read that field. It still uses the interface name. I'm using a template to create my .cfg file so maybe thats messed up. If you are using MRTG and your interface names are similar to this "gigabitinterface1/0/1" and you are able to get the --ifref=descr or --ifref=name options to create HTML files with the interface descript</pre> Clarence 2013-03-13T00:38:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.mrtg.user/36908 <pre>nfwhr nwhhmuqmoyg http://www.cavitacioneficaz.com/wmfvdlvd/tcgdfa/kyf/augxch yc bvuozwdqzwlos kxamdchrvuwrmkh rtqxesnldn _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list mrtg&lt; at &gt;lists.oetiker.ch https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg </pre> Gabor 2013-03-06T15:06:22 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.mrtg.user/36905 <pre>Since my data is all shit now it seems anyway, how do I remove the database?

That's in the cfg file. I added that manually and it worked, but now I'm trying to figure out how to get cfgmaker to use that target instead of the 32 bit one. I'm not really sure how to go about that. Am looking at the man page and it has this option : --if-template=templatefile But says it is experimental and under development and may change. And I'm also not sure exactly what that template file should look like. I found some templates down here e.g. this one /usr/share/doc/mrtg-2.14.5/contrib/cfgmaker_cisco/cfgmaker.cisco And in there I find the line the generates the Target, but I'm still not clear on how to make my own template for this.
