Hi,
Anyone still using mrtg these days? I'm trying to set up mrtg on my fedora25 system connected to a cable modem (35Mbit up, 5Mbit down) on one side and a gigabit ethernet on the other and can't figure out how to reflect that in the config file.
Maybe you have an idea for monitoring utilization using another method?
I'm trying to set it up to determine utilization, so it's important to define the upper bound for both upload and download. Is this possible? If I recall, isn't there a way to define input max and output max?
I've run the following cfgmaker command:
# cfgmaker --ifref=descr --ifdesc=alias -zero-speed=5000000 mysnmppass@orion.example.com
Here is the ifconfig output for my system. I've also included the generated cfgmaker output (with 'example' as my domain) below. I don't understand why it's defined eth0 and eth1 as 125MBit when it's connected to a bridge on a gigabit network, and why it's chosen 625kbit for br0 when I've tried to define it as 5Mbit.

Maybe you have an idea for monitoring utilization using another method?
I'm trying to set it up to determine utilization, so it's important to define the upper bound for both upload and download. Is this possible? If I recall, isn't there a way to define input max and output max?
I've run the following cfgmaker command:

I haven't edited the message so others can take a shot.
We still use MRTG as a part of Nagios and Cacti in our monitoring systems but I haven't done any manual configs in a very long time. One common thing to keep in mind is that although NICs are generally specified in bits-per-second, SNMP (and consequently mrtg) use bytes- per-second. One gigabit IS 125,000,000 bytes (1,000,000,000 / 8 = 125,000,000).
The MaxBytes option simply tells mrtg that values above this are to be ignored (ditto with AbsBytes). The primary idea is for mrtg to ignore nonsensical data which sometimes happens.
I don't know if cfgmaker permits you to specify the "Thresh[Min|Max]*" options. That may still be a "manual, go hack the config yourself" step as it was back in the day (and a common reason people use Cacti (it allows you to set thresholds relatively easily through its GUI). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - BASIC is the Computer Science version of `Scientific Creationism' - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks very much for the info. It's also been like a decade since I've had to configure mrtg. Most of my concern comes from the large disparity between the download (35mbit) and the upload (5mbit), and the upload getting lost on the graph.
Ideas for other utilization graphing programs would be appreciated.
