I never was able to install MRTG on HP-UX. Don't remember all the issues.... our NT admins installed the NT version and it works like a champ....

Hi Anthony,
Great man......if it works fine on NT machine, can you help me where can I get the NT version of MRTG?

Thanks,

when I run /usr/local/bin/mrtg /home/snicker.cfg

it gives follwing error.

Snicker.cfg is the config file created for one of our HP machine.

Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 59
main::BEGIN() called at /usr/local/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59
eval {...} called at /usr/local/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59
ERROR: unable to open config file: /home/hpux/cfg/snicker.cfg



if possible, please provide me exact syntex to create config file for any machine, I want to monitor CPU usage, memory and other general resources.

One more thing I have installed following supported softwares on my machine to support MRTG.

Hi,

This is a sample configuration file I am using.

..............

WorkDir: /home/mrtg/html/data/everest
Target[cpu.us]:`remsh everest -l mrtguser cat /home/mrtg/bin/cpuus.log`
MaxBytes[cpu.us]: 150
Options[cpu.us]: gauge, nopercent
Title[cpu.us]: EVEREST CPU Usage
PageTop[cpu.us]:

EVEREST CPU (SYSTEM Vs USER>)

#WithPeak[cpu.us]: dwmy
YLegend[cpu.us]: CPU (USR vs SYS)
LegendI[cpu.us]: User
LegendO[cpu.us]: Sys
.............


In the above on "everest" I generate sar data into a file called /home/mrtg/bin/cpuus.log using a script called /home/mrtg/bin/get_sar.sh

#!/usr/bin/ksh

LOG=/home/mrtg/bin/cpuus.log
rm $LOG
for I in $(sar -u 2 5 | awk '/Average/ {print $2,$3}')
do
echo $I >> $LOG
done
echo 0 >> $LOG
echo 0 >> $LOG


I schedule get_sar.sh to run every 5mins starting at 3 min on everest.
I run "/home/mrtg/bin/mrtg /home/mrtg/bin/cfg/everest.cfg" every 5mins starting at 5 min on the mrtg server. This way I won't miss data on 'everest'. You can repeat the same procedure for any number of servers you have.

If your mrtg is not working, please post your email address and I can send my mrtg binaries to you. I compiled them and they are working fine.

MRTG is available here:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/

You sound like you had a perl install problem (either base perl, or the dependencies for MRTG):
Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 59

Did you move parts of mrtg around after you built it?

[Sridhar Bhaskarla]

Hi,

I sent you the mrtg binaries. Let me know if it doesn't work.
