You can specify multiple targets in a single config file. I have 1300+ routers in a single configuration file. However, if you're using a .cgi script to generate the graphs, be warned, without modification it will consume a huge amount of CPU time to generate the graphs. Using mrtg-rrd and my 1300+ config consumed 80%+ of two 2.4ghz Xeons Using mrtg-rrd and my 1300+ config plus fastcgi consumes about 5% of a single cpu Just forewarning. Steve said that if you use routers2.cgi, using separate configs is the best process, although I believe the latest version can use speedycgi (someone care to confirm this?) Might be good if you're also using Smokeping, since that requires speedycgi. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
