I have well over 5000 targets currently, among close to 600 devices. > I would like > to get some input on how other people manage their configuration. I use cfgmaker with templates to generate the configs. I have a database where I store the salient information (what subdirectory, what are the snmp strings or V3 user information, what sort of device is it) and another table that describes the particulars on a device (templates, whether to include interfaces, what the ifref is supposed to be, snmp timeouts). Whenever I make a change, I run a script that generates cfgmaker statements and a fresh mrtg.cfg file. My mrtg.cfg file has nothing but include statements. I have a "common.cfg" file with all of the things that need to be static - workdir and mibs to be loaded, mainly - and then I have a separate cfg file for every device, arranged in sub-directories. I do use cron - that way I don't have to restart it every time I create a revised config. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CNX, CISSP # 78281 Austin Energy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
