I ran that command and nothing doing. I wasn't sure about what you mean about "make sure you update any of the settings" though.

Verify that the IP address is correct, the community string is correct and that the SNMP version 2 is correct.
Here is the link for the cfgmaker command's options.

Have you run the debug command and looked in the /tmp/mrtg.txt file?

Per the advice of someone else, I tried installing this on CentOS instead and I am still getting the same problem. I have no idea where to go from here.

That is why I suggested using this plugin instead. It doesn't need cron, mrtg, config files, etc.

One plugin, one command, worst case, you will need to install some Perl Modules but it should work for you.

I'm just getting very frustrated with this process. This is your default way of checking bandwidth to a port. This is what comes out of the installation. Yet there is almost 0 instruction on how to setup MRTG. The documentation on setting up switch monitoring links to the mrtg website with no official word from Nagios about what steps to take to set this up. Should I be following http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-unix-guide.en.html on setting up MRTG?

If you really want to get this going and not use what tgriep has suggested I would download the xi installer and find how the install is done there. Now, that is written for centos but it should still be useful.

XI comes with a 60-day trial so you could just try that and see if it is worth the expense. The free version allows 7 hosts so if this is all you want to do with it, just use xi. Again, xi will not work on Ubuntu.

Also, I think this process would be much less frustrating for you if you set up SSH to your Ubuntu machine rather than having to deal with virtual box. That's not something we can really help you with though. Try Ubuntuforums.org if you need help with the ssh stuff.

I am on CentOS now per your advice. But it still doesn't work. I said that in my previous post.

[tgriep]

Can you run the following command as root and post back the /tmp/mrtg.txt file?

Code: Select all

LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -debug=cfg,base &> /tmp/mrtg.txt

[jmac727]

Here is the file.

I think I had a typo. Try this one.
