What's the output of find / -name mrtg.cfg?

You may just need to run mkdir /etc/mrtg/conf.d/ but if you have multiple configs, that might not be all that needs to happen.

Yeah it looks like I don't have that /conf.d/ folder. Here are my results.

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks

Did you make that folder on your system?
To do that, login as root the the server and run the following to create the folder and to set the permissions.

Code: Select all

mkdir /etc/mrtg/conf.d
chmod nagios.nagios /etc/mrtg/conf.d
chmod 775 /etc/mrtg/conf.d

Then you will have to setup a cron entry to run the mrtg application every 5 minutes which will generate the /var/lib/mrtg rrd files.

If your system has this file on the system

Code: Select all

/etc/cron.d/mrtg

Make sure this line is in that file

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * root LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-file /var/lock/mrtg/mrtg_l --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok

If the /etc/cron.d/mrtg file doesn't exist, create it and add that line to it.

Then restart the cron daemon by running the following to load the changes

Code: Select all

service crond restart

Try that and see if the /var/lib/mrtg rrd files are created.

If not, 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

Hi

I made the directory. I was unable to chmod nagios.nagios /etc/mrtg/conf.d. I attached the error I got.

I've also attached the .txt file you requested.

[tgriep]

Oops, typo on my part. It should be chown, not chmod.

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /etc/mrtg/conf.d

[tgriep]

Another thing, edit the /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg file and remove this line

Code: Select all

Enable SNMPv3: yes

Save the file and see if the rrd files are created in the /var/lib/mrtg folder.

[jmac727]

Hi. I did all these things and still nothing

[jmac727]

This is in my mrtg cron file

[tgriep]

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 it is.

Thanks again for your patience and diligence in working with me.
