I added this to the cfgmaker below and rename cfgmaker but the results did not change. the cfg file gets saved as BLSWR5E3All but it still shows up in routers2.cgi as BLSWR5E3b8.
I am not sure that I understand your comments on Another way. could you clarify this? maybe example? ________________________________ From: Steve Shipway [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 27, 2009 5:01 PM To: Mersberger, Robert; [email protected] Subject: RE: Using cfgmaker with template and multiple targets on NT Routers2 assumes one file per device; so unless you specify the Device name using routers.cgi*ShortName: Menu name then it will default to choosing the device name as in one of the Targets. You have 4 different hosts in the targets so it is picking a different one; just ass the cfgmaker directive --global="routers.cgi*ShortName: BLSWR5E3" and you'll get this name in the Devices menu instead. Another way to do this with Routers2 is to create a separate file per device, but then make a separate cfg file that uses 'Include:' to include all of them (but this file is not run via MRTG). You can then view devices either individually or via the combined virtual device.

I thought I read somewhere that this could be done using cfgmaker with multiple targets defined so I tried this with the following definitions perl c:\mrtg-2.16.2\bin\cfgmaker --host-template=cisco.htp --snmp-options=:::::1 --community=mybusy --ifref=name --show-op-down --global="Workdir: c:\Progra~1\RRDtool\rrd_data" --global="PathAdd: c:\Progra~1\RRDtool" --global="LogFormat: rrdtool" --global="routers.cgi*Options[_]: scaled" --global="Options[_]: bits,growright" --output="c:\mrtg_setup\configs\BLSWR5E3A1.cfg" BLSWR5E3A1 BLSWR5E3B2 BLSWR5e3A5 BLSWR5E3b6 This runs and builds a cfg file BLSWR5E3A1.cfg but it shows up in mrtg (using rrdtools and routers2.cgi) as BLSWR5E3b6 under devices. All information is displayed and monitored but why is the device name wrong and how can I correct it. ________________________________ Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
