Hi all:
I know MRTG is a very important tool for monitoring Internet/network
connection and data usage. However, I have taken it for granted so far
as my work before was not so involved with network traffic
control/measuring. But now I 'm in the middle of it and need your help.
If someone could point me to a good tutorial on mrtg that explains
step-by-step configuration for RedHat 9.0, i 'd be most grateful.
I 've tried the one that comes with RedHat 9.0 CD, but I could not manage
to make it work. I know, it does not work out of the box; maybe someone
of you can explain some steps to get the RPM that comes with Shrike CD
working.
I saw its default configuration like this in /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg:
-- ---- ---- ---
WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg
Target[r1]: 2:public@(protected)
MaxBytes[r1]: 1250000
Title[r1]: Traffic Analysis
PageTop[r1]: <H1 >Stats for our Ethernet </H1 >
-- ---- ---- ---
and in the /etc/crontab:
-- ---- ---- ---
...
0-59/5 * * * * mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
-- ---- ---- ---
This configuration seems to produce no outputs. What should I do more
with it?
And when I tried running it manually:
$ mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
There were these errors:
-- ---- ---- ---

Thanks in advance for all help and regards,
