Mrtg installation

[ksukat]

I am running 6.06.1.
I want to run mrtg to monitor a couple of 3com switches I have in use.
I used adept to install apache-perl. I then installed mrtg using adept.

I have been using http://www.debianadmin.com/mrtg-inst...butions-2.html
as a guide for installation.

Problem I have is that the web page comes up and the graphs come up with no data in them. Click on a graph and the underlying data is 0's so I know that is not working.

The installation page shows modifying /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. My system doesn't have a /etc/snmp directory. Since I am getting no data in my graphs, I am wondering if snmp is not running and returning anything to mrtg.

Do I need to do something to get snmp working ? Its not in the guide, but maybe its something that only gets installed with the server install (instead of the destop install which I did).

thanks for any ideas,
Darryl

Re: Mrtg installation

sorry, know its bad form to answer your own question, but I figured out my problem.

Since I installed the desktop distribution, snmpd was not installed. I used Adept to install snmpd and configure it as per the How-To previously linked to. Started up snmpd. Created /etc/mrtg.cfg as per instructions. Did indexmaker as per instructions and waited. Now, I see the graphs for the devices. Works great.

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
