Bjorgen,
You can also use the '--no-down' or the '--show-op-down' option in cfgmaker to
get all ports in the mrtg config file.
See http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/cfgmaker.en.html for details.
About the 3com gear:
First you have to make sure from the MRTG host you can get replies to SNMP
queries to the box you want to monitor. You can use any MIB-browser to check
this. (On windows Getif can be a usefull tool)
As soon as you can get replies to the SNMP queries you can tell cfgmaker to
make a config file for MRTG.
I suggest you make a cfg file for each device and make a master config file
with your global parameters and an include line for each individual cfg file.
Now you can decide to run indexmaker with the master config file or for each
individual config file to get the html file(s) you want.
HTH,
Jan.

That's the way cfgmaker works. It will add the interfaces that are
down, but will comment them out. So if you want MRTG to ask for the stats on
those ports, you need to uncomment them in the .cfg.
Each Interface gets it's own page in MRTG with four sets of graphs,
daily, weekly, monthly & yearly. I have built some nice cgi scripts for
inhouse use like you are talking about. For instance I made a script to
display the daily graphs for all interfaces on a managed switch and made those
links to the full MRTG page for that interface.
I have not played with RRD, but should do that here as the processing
time for MRTG to make the graphs can get intensive on larger systems can be
excessive.

Hello Kevin,
Thank you for your reply! I managed to get the service running
correctly, and now that aspect is working great.
And I looked in the MRTG.CFG file and found that it appears
that the switches were, for the most part, configured somewhat, but that
everything was completely commented out for some reason. Some of the ports
were commented out as they are disabled (by us administrators), but I still
need all ports to be monitored whether disabled or not.
Also, I am wondering if I will get a separate HTML file for
each of these devices, or if I will simply get one massive HTML page. We would
much rather have separate HTML files for each device, if that is possible, then
we will build our own front-end menu to select the device we wish to monitor.
Sincerely, Bjorgen

On Windows I've never tried to run it as a service. Typically
I set up a batch file to be run from the Task Scheduler every 5 minutes for 23
hours and 55 minutes. This has worked for me many times over many years.
Alternatively, there are some free/OSS cron clones for Windows. These may work
as well.
I can't help on the cfgmaker issue, all my devices are and have
been Cisco and that works quite well.

I have completely installed and managed to get running
most of the MRTG code, running on MS Advanced Server 2003, IIS v6.0, including
using the SRVANY.EXE so that the MRTG script will run as a service.
I have 2 problems, as follows:
1. Using the cfgmaker script, I cannot get more than
just a router added to the MRTG.CFG file. We have a Cisco 1720 router, a Cisco
PIX 506e (which we probably don't need to monitor), and six 3COM 24-port
switches. Of most interest are the six 3COM switches. How do we get all of
these devices in the configuration file?
2. Even with the one device (the Cisco router)
correctly configured in the MRTG.CFG file, we cannot get the updates to work
reliably. I don't see much activity happening. I finally stopped the MRTG
service for a few hours, then started it again, and then saw activity, but then
left the service running again for several hours, and no additional activity
occurred. How do we tell the service to run the mrtg script from time to time?
The statistics were last updated Wednesday, 28 March
2007 at 19:50,
at which time 'TheEdenGroup.tierzero.net' had been up
for 2 days, 10:44:15.
