Errors when running LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/

OS: Centos6.4

I wonder if anyone could help me with the following problem:

I am getting the following errors when running LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/

How do I go about fixing this problem ?

Many Thank

Do these ports actually exist on 10.40.1.251?
32,33,22,23,24,37,38,54,55,57

[vijilants]

The unit in question is a Cisco Router,

I'm really not sure as to how Nagios interprets the port numbers as these don't exist on the router as physical ports.

So in reply to your question.....I'm not exactly sure as to what these port numbers are referring to.

[slansing]

How large is the switch? If it is in the 24-48 port range it looks like they should exist. You can remove those entries entirely from the MRTG config, but if they also exist as services in Nagios XI you will want to remove them there too if they are not valid and are not currently returning valid information. You can follow this document here:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Router.pdf

[vijilants]

Its not a switch.....its a router with no more than six interfaces on it.

[tmcdonald]

Did you try manually removing the MRTG entries in the config and from the XI interface? The errors are because MRTG thinks the router has more interfaces than it does, so checking them is failing. Removing them by hand should help reduce the errors and cut the monitoring down to just what actually exists.

Hi ,

I have had to revisit this problem as I wish to upgrade to the latest version of Nagios and I want to make sure the system is clean prior to upgrade. I have not deleted anything as yet as I was unsure as to what I should be deleting in the GUI due to weird port numbers

I ran the command again today and it appears that the output has changed and I'm really not sure as to why it looks like this (see below) The unit that has IP address 192.168.40.6 is a live system but has been down for the past couple of weeks. Not sure as to what to do about the errors in this file as it appears to be a moving target

Often those additional ports are vlans and other virtual interfaces. Could you provide the config for this particular device as shown in CCM or from the flat files please? We can then compare the mrtg output and the config to help advise which ports to remove from one or both places.

[vijilants]

Do you want the host settings or the service settings for that device as there are many services ?

How shall I provide them here using CCM ?....via a screendump ?

Would it not be easier using the flatfiles and if so, can you please guide me as to where I can locate those files ?

Many Thanks

[sreinhardt]

Actually I would like the flat file, of just that hosts services. You should be able to go into CCM->services Filter for your host, and use the disk icon to download the flat file containing all services under that config name.
