If you are a novice, why make it harder on yourself by running Windows? MRTG runs very easily under linux, as does rrdtool. Trying to run server-class software on a workstation class O/S is never terribly easy. > > I need to way to read multiple devices There are three ways: 1. append the cfgmaker output from the second device to the first .cfg file. This is the least scalable method. 2. run a separate instance of mrtg for every device. This is reasonably unscalable, but might be necessary under non-threaded O/S's like Windows. 3. Create separate files for each device using cfgmaker. Create a "wrapper" config that has Include: statements for every file. This is the recommended scalable method that integrates well with front-ends such as routers2.cgi. > and also if possible change the time from 5 mins to 30 seconds, etc. I doubt you really want 30 second data, but you would need to be running rrdtool. Then use the Interval: directive with a value of 00:30 > -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CISSP #78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
