    MRTG SETUP STEP BY STEP

    RHEL 5
    First of all install the Packages: net-snmp net-snmp-utils mrtg httpd Then modify the snmp.conf file mv /etc/snmp/snmp.conf /etc/snmp/snmp.conf.bk Then again create this file & write the community string in it vim /etc/snmp/snmp.conf Write the community string & save the file. rocommunity public Now restart the service snmpd twice with following command Service snmpd restart Start this service at boot time also chkconfig --level 35 snmpd on Now check if as the snmp is working properly & to check the ip status give following command snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex If the out put displays like under mentioned lines then your configuration is correct. IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.127.0.0.1 = INTEGER: 1 IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.192.168.0.31 = INTEGER: 2 Now the time is to configure your mrtg. So play the cfgmaker command like this cfgmaker --ifref=ip --ifdesc=ip --global=WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg --global=Options[_]: growright, bits --output=/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg public@localhost Now open the configuration file & configure your Ethernet vim /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg Here you uncomment the section of your Ethernet & also give the value above 0 in front of MaxBytes. Here I am giving a sample configuration of Ethernet section for your convenience. Target[localhost_192.168.0.31]: /192.168.0.31:public@localhost: SetEnv[localhost_192.168.0.31]: MRTG_INT_IP="192.168.0.31" MRTG_INT_DESCR="eth0"

    MaxBytes[localhost_192.168.0.31]: 1000 Title[localhost_192.168.0.31]: 192.168.0.31 -- server.younisbrothers.com PageTop[localhost_192.168.0.31]: <h1>192.168.0.31 -- server.younisbrothers.com</h1> <div id="sysdetails"> <table> <tr> <td>System:</td> <td>server.younisbrothers.com in Unknown</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Maintainer:</td> <td>root@localhost</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Description:</td> <td>eth0 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>ifType:</td> <td>ethernetCsmacd (6)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>ifName:</td> <td>eth0</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Max Speed:</td> <td>0.0 bits/s</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Ip:</td> <td>192.168.0.31 (server.younisbrothers.com)</td> </tr> </table> </div> Now in this way your mrtg configuration is complete now play the indexmaker command to generate the index.html file indexmaker /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg > /var/www/mrtg/index.html If you find no errors after this command it means you have successfully configured mrtg & if you find any errors it means there is something left to configure in your /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg file. Now there is a command left for the last step of mrtg. The command is as under. mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg You will find error here and it will tell you the right syntax of your command in the last line of error report, which will be this. env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log

    Address for logs in this command is added additional it is for the convenience of seeing logs for mrtg. If this command gives you some errors then dont worry & play this command twice again. If command returns silence & doesnt report any error it means your command is played successful. Now place the entry of this command in crontab file. crontab e */5 * * * * env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log save the file & exit. Now it is time to configure your httpd setting, open its configuration file & configure it like this vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/mrtg.conf <location /mrtg> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.0/24 # Allow from ::1 # Allow from .example.com </Location> Now restart the service httpd twice with following command service httpd restart Start this service at boot time also Chkconfig --level 35 httpd on Now your configurations is complete open your web browser & write in its address bar the address of your server & it will open mrtg graph for you. The address command is as under: -http://192.168.0.31/mrtg or http://server.younisbrothers.com/mrtg If you feel any difficulty in configuration please dont hesitate to contact. Regards,
