Help!?

[JW21a]

The task has been completed.

Will the file automatically be created, or do I have to create the file?

Status:
susetestbox:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects # ls -la /var/lib/ | grep mrtg
drwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 0 Mar 4 16:31 mrtg

The mrtg folders *should* be auto-created. You have to wait until 2 checks for each service have been received.

It seems that the graph charts are not generating at all, even though the mrtg directory was created yesterday and mrtg was installed since January.

susetestbox:/var/lib/mrtg # ps flax | grep nagios

susetestbox:/var/lib/mrtg # ls -al /var/lib/mrtg/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 0 Mar 4 16:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1200 Mar 4 16:31 ..


I do not know if this is the problem, but I do not know if I have to manually configured each log file:
susetestbox:/usr/local/nagios/lib # more check_mrtg

******** check_mrtg: Not a text file ********


susetestbox:/usr/local/nagios/lib # more check_mrtgtraf

******** check_mrtgtraf: Not a text file ********

Also, MRTG is running as well:

susetestbox:/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects # ps flax | grep mrtg
0 0 32749 24585 20 0 2528 488 pipe_w S+ pts/0 0:00 \_ grep --color=auto mrtg

Run this command to update mrtg log file.

Code: Select all

env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

Check crond to make sure you have a few entries that reseble:

Code: Select all

/5 * * * * /usr/bin/env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg –logging /var/log/mrtg.log
*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/httpd/conf/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log

If '2013-03-06' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf 2013-03-06


susetestbox:~ # */5 * * * * /usr/bin/env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/httpd/conf/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log
-bash: */5: No such file or directory


susetestbox:~ # /5 * * * * /usr/bin/env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg .logging /var/log/mrtg.log
-bash: /5: No such file or directory

/5 * * * * /usr/bin/env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg –logging /var/log/mrtg.log

These are lines in a cron file, not commands. To possibly see if you have any of these entries, run:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/cron*/* | grep mrtg

[JW21a]

Status:

susetestbox:~ # cat /etc/cron*/* | grep mrtg
susetestbox:~ #

[abrist]

It looks like you do not have any cron jobs setup for mrtg. How did you install core?
