Hi Jan, MRTG is running without any error, so the syntax of my config-file is correct, I guess...
I scheduled MRTG to run every 5 minutes as follows: */5 * * * * env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.conf --logging /var/log/mrtg.log The output of MRTG can be found at http://pinkpanther.homelinux.net/System/mrtg/ To see the graphs: logon as user "guest" with password "guest". Here you find a page, created by the indexmaker, containing 5 graphs. I will walk through them, and explain their problems. 1. Network Traffic Analysis (eth0): looks ok for me :-) 2. load average (cpu): I just get a constant value of 1.0 % for both user load as system load, instead of the fluctuating graph I expect. It just cannot be true, that the load is that constant. 3. load average (cpu2): Almost the same as cpu, but here I get 0%, which really cannot be true 4. Memory Statistics: Physical Memory: Total Memory looks ok (The system has 256 MB installed), but the Available Memory on the graph is always 0 MB, while the real available memory is fluctuating between 5 MB and 20 MB 5. Memory Statistics: Swap: Available swap on the graph is now always 0 MB, while it should be (most of the time) 512 MB. Total swap on the graph is fluctuating betweeen 0 MB and 10 MB, maybe this isn't the Total Swap, but the used swap, but I am not sure about that. Again the links to my system: Here is a link to my mrtg.conf file: http://pinkpanther.homelinux.net/System/mrtg/mrtg.conf Here you can find the actual graphs, created by mrtg: http://pinkpanther.homelinux.net/System/mrtg/ Here you can find some info about my system (created by phpSysinfo) http://pinkpanther.homelinux.net/System/info/ To logon to these webpages, you can use: user: guest pass: guest regards, Corstian Koelstra, J.
