I'm going to be colocating a server and I'm wondering what you guys would recommend for a MRTG / RTG that gives you estimated transfer for the month. I know you can use MRTG and multiply and divide and all that but I'm looking for something that will also include estimated monthly transfer in both mb/s and gigabits per month.
In the past i've sucessfully installed MRTG on cpanel and plain redhat boxes, but now i have a new plesk server and I don't know how to proceed to install MRTG so it can be available at [url]
I installed mrtg,then i installed module on webmin for it,but still there is some error and nothing show on index.html of mtrg directory.Cron is installed over webmin module,but nothing show yet.I see on default is locahost and public on webmin module listed,but when i clicked add i got error:
Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/indexmaker line 353.
What i need to properly monitor network interface?
Here is presently conf file:
WorkDir:/home/bla/public_html/mrtg/
# Created by # /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker public@69.45.45.78 ### Global Config Options # for UNIX # WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg # or for NT # WorkDir: c:mrtgdata ### Global Defaults # to get bits instead of bytes and graphs growing to the right # Options[_]: growright, bits EnableIPv6: no ###################################################################### # System: available9.bla.com # Description: Linux available9.bla.com 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Jun 10 18:51:06 EDT 2008 x86_64 # Contact: Root <root@localhost> (configure /etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf) # Location: Unknown (edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) ####################################################################
I've installed MRTG, but am having problems making the config file, all I want to do is monitor the in/out bandwidth (2 graphs) on my own server, has anyone got an example file they could paste here?
I have a box with centos and plesk from dedicatedplace and they have problem to unstall MRTG on it,
[root@local]# indexmaker --output=/var/www/mrtg/index.html /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 340.
I have mrtg working fine on about 10 2650's, however now that I am trying to add 2950 and 3550's I cant seem to get MRTG to connect to get data.
I added the community the same as our other communities.

My ISP is using MRTG (95th percentile) for my monthly billing. However the numbers showing on my "usage" page aren't adding up. Well, to clarify, the number by which they bill me at is the "Last 30 days usage (Metered 95%): xxxx mb/s". But this number isn't reflecting what I am seeing in the individual Daily/Weekly/Monthly stats and graphs.
Daily: Max in: 38.0 kb/s Max out 320.9 kb/s Avg In: 4216.0 b/s Avg out 24.1 kb/s
Weekly: Max In: 1692.4 kb/s Max Out 5675.1 kb/s Avg In: 26.9 kb/s Avg Out 86.8 kb/s
Monthly: Max In: 3541.9 kb/s Max Out 5635.4 kb/s Avg In: 298.4 kb/s Avg Out 410.4 kb/s
Last 30 Days uaage (Metered 95%): 4518.43 kb/s
Now for two weeks my server was pushing nearly 10 mb/s (95th percentile only use the HIGHER of the In OR Out as its measurement)- and then for the next 10 days my server has barely pushed 100 kb/s. 10 days ago the "Last 30 days usage" number was 4480.1 mb/s, but today, 10 days later, the "LAst 30 days usage" is 4518.4 kb/s. My ISP tells me that "last 30 days uage" is calculated every 5 minutes. But if my usage 10 days ago was 4480kb/s and my server has barely pushed ANY bandwidth since, shouldn't the laws of averages see that number steadily declining?
As an example: If I pushed exactly 10mb/s for exactly two weeks, then pushed 0mb/s for the next two weeks....then the average mb/s for a 30 day period (not calculating 95th %) would be 5mb/s. And as the 3rd week started, I would steadily see the 30 day usage start to decline and eventually reach 5mb/s on the last day of the 30 period. This is a logical, and my approach, to understanding this - yet the numbers aren't indicating this.

I have a VPS where i have cpanel installed. I have noticed quite a number of times through my WHM Cpu/Memory usage that there are 3 instances of MRTG and they seem to be taking up a lot of resources.
I did not install mrtg and i don't even know how do i go ahead and view them
Can someone tell me how do i remove them and is it just me or are there actually 3 instances of MRTG running for everyone?
But I'm not sure how much power it actually takes to generate theses MRTG stats... The server is a Celeron D 2.8Ghz, 512Mb ATA soft raid system. Do you think that I should update the stats less frequently to decrease the server usage?

I tried installing MRTG in my Linux Server by using help from -
[url]
What i have done till now is -
cd /usr/local/src gunzip -c mrtg-2.16.2.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd mrtg-2.16.2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mrtg-2
make
make install After this i am unable to understand what to do, and how to start MRTG graphs.
* the next last step says,
CONFIGURATION
The next step is to configure mrtg for monitoring a network device. This is done by creating an mrtg.cfg file which defines what you want to monitor. Luckily, you don't have to dive straight in and start writing your own configuration file all by yourself. Together with mrtg you also got a copy of cfgmaker. This is a script you can point at a router of your choice; it will create a mrtg configuration file for you. You can find the script in the bin subdirectory.
This example above will create an mrtg config file in /home/mrtg/cfg assuming this is a directory visible on your webserver. You can read all about cfgmaker in cfgmaker. One area you might want to look at is the possibility of using --ifref=ip to prevent interface renumbering troubles from catching you.
^^ this is what i am not able to understand.
When i ran the script, (below mention) it gave many errors, how to resolve them ?

why mrtg screws graphs up if bandwidth usage goes over 120 mbit/sec? See an attachment. First graph from mrtg, second one provider's graph which is correct. In mrtg.cfg I got MaxBytes[_]: 2250000000
Just wondering if there is some 'plugin' for MRTG which will e-mail or send an sms if certain conditions are true (bandwidth exceeded on some server /device)?
