I think you may still have a version with a bug in it.

Please install 2.1.7 of the wizard which should replace the plugin with the current version

For Bandwidth on the ports, it all shows ZEROS
actually that is normal until the checks have been running for at least 10+ minutes.

eventually, but it shows every port as Zero bandwidth, in and out.

Code: Select all

	fc1/7 Bandwidth	Ok	2d 18h 15m 2s	1/5	02/16/2015 08:09:42	OK - Current BW in: 0Gbps Out: 0Gbps

Well, that means there are no errors when the mrtg cron is run.
Next, lets check to make sure the mrtg cron is running and configured correctly:

Code: Select all

service crond status
ls -la /etc/cron.d/mrtg
cat /etc/cron.d/mrtg
