Sorry, should have included that... MRTG is 2.16.3, Perl is 5.12.3 build 1204, on Windows 7 sp1. I'm just as happy logging to a file, so it's not a high priority. The main reason I reported it was that I found several similar questions when I googled the error, but none had answers. Upgrading MRTG is probably the easier way to go...
It's amazing how much is happening in the world these days--several disasters since the flooding in Australia. Hope the recovery is going well down/up there.

Usually, this sort of thing is caused by having a very recent version of perl (5.12?) and an older version of MRTG (2.14 ...). If thisis the case, upgrade your MRTG to the latest (2.17.1), and/or downgrade your perl to 5.10 Steve Steve Shipway University of Auckland ITS UNIX Systems Design Lead [email protected] Ph: +64 9 373 7599 ext 86487 ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of John York [[email protected]] I got a bunch of these errors when I tried to install MRTG using the procedure to make MRTG run as a Windows service in http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-nt-guide.en.html: C:\mrtg\bin>perl mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\mrtg\bin\mrtg.cfg Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at C:/Perl/lib/Win32/EventLog.pm These errors stopped MRTG from running properly. For me, the problem was in this line: "AppParameters"="c:\\mrtg\\bin\\mrtg --logging=eventlog c:\\mrtg\\bin\\mrtg.cfg". I had the same problem when I tried to run from the command line, until I removed --logging=eventlog. When I replaced --logging=eventlog with --logging=c:\\mrtg\\logs\\log.txt everything worked fine. Don't know if the problem was caused by a change in Windows, MRTG, or ActiveState Perl, but --logging=eventlog doesn't work anymore.
