OK, I'm going to play devil's advocate here: WHY is it not a good idea? Rateup would create the graphs all the time anyway. By switching to rrdtool, I get more disk IO efficiency because of the database format. >>If not, does anyone have a sample of how they call rrdtool to do the >>graphing to mimic the intervals of MRTG's four typical graphs? > > > You can look at RRDTool integration page: > http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg-rrd.html > There are scripts 14all.cgi and mrtg-rrd which generates html page with graph > in MRTG-like style. I was looking for an example of the exact call to "rrdtool graph", not ANOTHER pointer to use the CGI. I know that the CGI-based tools make the page for me. My problem is our NOC doesn't know which target page to go to until they go through some other pages to locate the customer. I am willing to rewrite my index generation tools to reference the CGI, but I cannot do that now (I have a truckload of network hardware arriving tomorrow that I will need to get into production). So, I'd like to migrate to RRDTool for logging with graphs created always, and then migrate to RRDTool with cgi-based graph creation. > I have MRTG configuration in more included files (1 router = 1 file), > because, > when you have thousands target, that generating of graphs is slow due to > parsing MRTG config file.
