RE: [cobalt-users] RaQ4 MRTG (and other) packages

["Steve Groom_Cobalt" <cobalt@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
thanks for this package. I'm starting to read the docs, but I have one
burning question - how to restart MRTG after changing the mrtg.conf file ?

Basically I want to run MRTG on one Raq4 and add sensors to check the status
of my other Raq4 servers and routers.

I tried adding this to the end of /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cnf and rebooting !

#----------------------------
# TCP Connections

Target[raq01.vtech.ch_eth0]: eth0:public@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
SetEnv[raq01.vtech.ch_eth0]: MRTG_INT_IP="80.88.64.58" MRTG_INT_DESCR="eth0"
MaxBytes[raq01.vtech.ch_eth0]: 1250000
Title[raq01.vtech.ch_eth0]: eth0   -- raq01.vtech.ch
PageTop[raq01.vtech.ch_eth0]: <H1>eth0   -- raq01.vtech.ch</H1>
 <TABLE>
   <TR><TD>System:</TD>     <TD>raq01.vtech.ch </TD></TR>
   <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD> <TD>Steve</TD></TR>

   <TR><TD>Ip:</TD>         <TD>80.88.64.58 ()</TD></TR>
 </TABLE>

and added the following lines to /home/mrtg/index.html

TD><DIV><B>Traffic Analysis for server 2</B></DIV>
<DIV><A HREF="server2.xxxxxx.ch_eth0.html"><IMG BORDER=1 ALT="server2_eth0"
SRC="server3

<BR>
<SMALL><!--#flastmod file="server2.html" --></SMALL></DIV>
</TD>

But it just flatlines.... I guess the SNMP stuff is slightly off. Anyone
have a working example for MRTG getting SNMP data from other Cobalt servers?

Aside: In fact, how can we mere mortals take apart a .pkg file to see what
it installs and where?

regards
Steve

Once installed you can access the stats by going to
http(s)://[yourserver]:81/.cobalt/mrtg/

Cheers.
