Eric: I use mrtg on a win2k with about fifty devices, rrdtool, and routers2.cgi. I separated all the devices into 4 .bat files groups. Then I use MRTG Daemon (http://www.geocities.com/mrtg_daemon). Within those cfgs files, I have ping and packet loss running for each interface, and an updown.cgi script. And all this is pulling on a 1 minute intervals. The system has 15 second to spare between cycles.
Give it a try.... LA -----Original Message----- From: Cornwell, Eric J. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2003 7:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Starting MRTG - There has to be a better way... Hello Everyone! We currently monitor close to 100 devices with one Windows 2K PC. Each device has its own config file. I have a bat file that runs and starts each config the following way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- start /B wperl mrtg (RouterName).cfg --logging MRTG_Routers.log echo (RouterName) has been started. sleep 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Each device is offset by 7 seconds to help spread everything out. My problem is that with 100 wperl.exe processes running they eat up all the available memory. Is there a better way to start MRTG than this or am I just going to have to live with it? Thanks!
