Hi Eric, I would agree with a previous note for the use of "Include" in a master config file and the potential use of fork. Today I have a script which builds each device config and then produces the master config (w/Include's) to apply cron jobs to. The number of master config files is a settable variable so I could easily have many different master configs I can spread over the 5 minutes. However my technique predates the fork option, so you may be better off with a single master include config and fork.
And from an admin point of view it is good to keep separation of configs for each device as you are doing today (but use master Include config files). That way you can update individual device configs if you require without rebuilding the whole config environment.

[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!
