HOWTO: Very easy RPM based MRTG installation

I have a question. On http://server1.liquenox.net/mrtg/cpu.html it is reporting that I am using on average 160.0 %CPU. What does that mean? A bug, or something?

Nothing to worry about, it seems all versions of this rpm (plesk cpanel and ensim) have it. Ii will look into a fix, for now there is no fix listed on its other guides.

Mark: can i ask what the problems were relating to? could you paste some of the errors?

My .cfg file and the data generator are loacted here.

They are working fine as of this afternoon, since I've fixed them.

When I try to use your files, I get a :
/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/rateup: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2

I have the file in /usr/local/lib/ and MRTG 2.10.11 did'nt complain when installing. Do you think it's an MRTG problem or a config file problem?


EDIT
Recompiled with indication of where to find the lib and it worked.

The gd library must be a different version with fc2 - either follow the source guide or you'll need to wait until i can get some rpms built up myself.

Have you checked if the Core 1 packages work for you. If not I'll release some FC2 packages.

However, note that the .cfg file is designed to run in /var/www/html/mrtg; you'll have to modify the the .cfg if you want to run it elsewhere.

i downloaded your configuration file, there are two files inside.
one is called "system", the other is "mrtg.cnf"

my question is where to put that "system" file? and how come my mrtg looked so plain and simple, but yours looks much nicer?

http://65.75.183.160/mrtg/
http://server1.liquenox.net/mrtg/cpu.html

how do i make something like yours :confused:

thanks.

Hello,

You should be able to extract the whole thing to /var/www/html/mrtg, and then just tell mrtg to use the .cfg file.

MRTG will then show up at http://serverIP/mrtg or http://hostname/mrtg

Hi ,

The link Chris posted no longer works...

Does anybody have a copy of the RPM please?

Thanks,

Rob

Surely someone downloaded this while it was available and still has it?

Thanks.

If anyone has it please let me know and I'll post it in my downloads section so anyone can get it.

Thanks.
