I did not see the MRTG cfg files that are used by the MRTG process that created the rrd filers in the profile.

I suspect that there is a permission problem so run the following as root to set them.

Code: Select all

chown apache:nagios /etc/mrtg -R
chmod 775 /etc/mrtg -R
chown apache:nagios /var/lib/mrtg -R
chmod 775 /var/lib/mrtg -R

Then you will have to re-run the Wizard to recreate the MRTG cfg files and them see is they are created and update the data in the Bandwidth checks.
