MC2: MRTG Configuration Checker


Use this tool to alter the config files of MRTG 2.x.


WARNING

If the PageTop section of a target in your Cfg file was changed to a format other than the one cfgmaker makes, DON'T USE THIS TOOL FOR THAT FILE. All your changes will be lost, because this tool uses the same format for the PageTop section as the cfgmaker uses.



Create a new Target:

1. Open an existing file or choose a network device by its hostname.

2. Remove all interfaces you don't want to monitor.

3. Add additional interfaces from other devices using the "Add Target.." button if you wish to.

4. Edit the targets.

5. Save the targets to a file.

6. Run mrtg manually at least 3 times until all error messages are gone.

7. Edit your crontab entries with your favorite editor.

8. Enjoy your new graphs.


Change an existing Target:

1. Open a CFG file

2. Make all necessary changes. Maybe check the SNMP port number using the CheckPort feature.

3. Save your edits.

4. Run mrtg several times until all error messages are gone.

5. Edit your crontab entry if necessary.
