Always hit the docs first.. there is a section called "RUNNING MRTG"
http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-unix-guide.en.html In your case .. /usr/bin/mrtg /path/to/your.cfg --logging /path/to/your/mrtg.log I use /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log for my location .. you can use what ever suits you. You can run from the shell just as you run it from crontab.. #> env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg bla bla bla bla ------ thanks kevin.foote On Thu, 8 Apr 2010, Scott Danton wrote: -> I have attached a text file from config.

My server crashed and I rebuilt on a VM. It has been so long that I do not remember anything that I had to do to get things running. I did have some old back ups of cfg file. I have re-installed and I am haing a strange issue. I monitor multiple interfaces on 3 devices. Here is the strange part. On one device I am collecting information on 2 of the 3 interfaces. One is completely blank. The second device collect the information for my remote sites. I am getting information on 4 of the 7. So 3 are blank. On the last device I am missing information on 1 of the 2 interfaces. The config is the same one I used on the old server so that should not be the problem. Each device is giving information, so I know the SNMP is working. I am lost.
