Task 3—Using MRTG to Monitor and Graph Traffic Loads

How to Inspect and Interpret Data

Example:

./cfgmaker 5urf5h0p@travis-nas-01 >> travis-nas-01.cfg

In the previous example:

5urf5h0p is the SNMP community string.

travis-nas-01is the hostname of the managed device.

travis-nas-01.cfgis the configuration file that MRTG reads each time it starts up.

Note If the domain name server (DNS) is not working, MRTG cannot use a hostname.

You must use an IP address instead.

Step 4 By using a text editor, edit the configuration file (.cfg) to enable polling of dial variables and OIDs. For a complete list of OIDs to poll, see the “About Selecting Dial OIDs” section on page 54.

The following configuration file is from a Cisco AS5300. This file can be used as a configuration template for your environment, but use your own community string, work directory, and device name.

The following definitions are used in the example:

•The RO community string is 5urf5h0p

•The work directory is WorkDir: /export/home/www/mrtg/travis-nas-01/dial

•The device name is travis-nas-01
