Hi, I've used MRTG a few times over the years but I'm having trouble setting it up again to graph the bandwidth usage in a multi-homed firewall.
Because I want to monitor the bandwidth per NIC the linux_stats.pl contrib script looked like just the job and it runs perfectly with the usual MRTG type output being produced (debug output below). But whats funny is when I have MRTG up and running every 5 minutes the graphs are showing 0 bites/bytes per second and the MRTG log file for the target seems to have loads of 0s in it which I think is suspicious. My setup is below - I'm sure this is something I have wrong as I haven't used MRTG for a couple of years at least - any help is most appreciated thanks very much!
