Creating and Editing a Configuration File

Task 3—Using MRTG to Monitor and Graph Traffic Loads

How to Inspect and Interpret Data

Creating and Editing a Configuration File

Because dial interfaces normally go up and down as calls connect and disconnect, monitor counters such as:

•PPP sessions in use

•DS0s in use

•Modem calls that have been rejected

Depending on how the dial interfaces are used on a access server, different types of counters may not be valuable to monitor, such as byte-packet counters on the interfaces in Table 17.

Table 17 Dial Interface Types on a Cisco AS5800

Interface Type	Syntax Example

Asynchronous	Async1/2/00

B-channel serial	Serial1/0/0:1

D-channel serial	Serial1/0/0:23

Group asynchronous	Group-Async0

T1/E1 controllers	T1 1/0/0

To enable MRTG to locate a device and poll it for network statistics, follow these steps:

Step 1 Collect the hostnames, IP address, and read only (RO) SNMP community strings for the devices to be monitored.

Step 2 Download, compile, and install MRTG on to a Solaris workstation:

•For the source code, go to http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/

•For the documentation, see the section “Getting and Installing MRTG on a UNIX System” at http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html

Step 3 Create a configuration file.

There are two basic ways to create the file:

•Manually create it by using the MRTG files config.text and sample-mrtg.config. These files are in the /mrtg/doc directory.

or

•Use the configuration maker (cfgmaker) in the /mrtg/run directory. MRTG creates a basic configuration file for you. The default configuration file made with cfgmaker automatically polls for a standard set of MIBs and pre-defined values.

Generic command syntax:

./cfgmaker communitystring@hostname-or-ipaddress >> outputfilename.cfg
