Hello,

I've setup the MRTGext in a couple test environments. It seems to work
fine. In terms of production environments, I looked through the documents
and there's no mention of the transmission method from server agents to
the collecting monitoring server (using only the supplied perl scripts).
It seems to build in the mrtg.cfg file on the local server then passed
the info somehow to the collecting monitoring server to build the HTML
page.

also there's no mention of access rights to the local servers once the
MRTGext.nlm is loaded.

maybe they can e built into the readme.

_h

I'm wondering if mrtgext is (or can be made) cluster aware, so that you
can monitor the cluster status, as well as clustered volumes. It seems to
be a "server centric" application, which is fine for most things.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what's going on now. but I thought that I edited it on my
windows machine before putting it on my FC5 box and somehow contaminated
it with hidden characters like ^M. I was getting errors like:

-bash: ./nwextcfg.pl: /usr/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or
directory

So I download it straight to the FC5 box and unzipped it there. same
error.

I then came across something to convert dos to unix format, dos2unix and
that cured that error.

But now when I run it, it puts a carriage return or linefeed each line
after the server name, like this:
