Can you run these commands and post the output?

Good day

Lets remove some of the left over files and the lock file and then run the mrtg command with debug enabled.
Run this as root and post the output.

thanks, I back up and delete the files, the command output is as follows:

Move the file /etc/mrtg/conf.d/172.16.80.6_10101.cfg into /tmp/ and then run the command again. What output is produced now?

Hi good day.

The output is very extensive, is there any way to send the output to a file ?, adding "> output.txt" at the end does not work.

If you run the command like below, it should create a log file called mrtg.txt in the /tmp folder. Then you can upload the file to this post so we can review it.

I send the file
Thank you

p.d: I moved the files "xxxx" and now are generating rrd files, can that be the problem?

If one of the 172.16.80.6_xxxxx config files were corrupted, yes that could of stopped mrtg from running and updating the rrd files.
I just want to verify, are the rrd files updating now except for the ones you moved??
