This is more of an Alerting function than an Logging function. MRTGis logging, although it does have primitive thresholds. Here, we use Nagios for the alerting, which can be tied in to MRTG quite nicely (they can use the same agents, and Nagios can be set to alert on RRD values, and so on). >1. Is there a way to specify multiple threashholds (i.e., cpu >exceeds 60%, turn the graph orange, 90% turns graph red,...). Currently you cant do this with any of the MRTG frontends (routers2, 14all, mrtg-rrd), as far as I know. However, routers2 will add al ine to the graph to show any defined thresholds. >2. Is there a way to mail a warning notification? This would be a function of the alerting tool. Nagios can do this easily.
