Please run mrtg in an environment where this is not the case. Try the following command to start: env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/webmin.cfg ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I am running MRTG via cron. And in fact after the upgrade MRTG did not create proper output. So, I changed the command in my cronjob to the line above. MRTG then started to work again as expected. However, I'm still getting the above error message every 5 minutes which is the cron run timing. So, I very much liked getting this error which was great in fixing the problem. But, now how to make it stop when the right command is run.

Here's how. ByCarla Schroder | Posted Aug 12, 2008 Page of |Back to Page 1 In SNMP for Everybody we got the high-level view of what SNMP is, and a error mrtg quick introduction on how to use it. Today we're going to learn how to find MIB and OID values, which will be handy when you have to do a bit of manual configuration on various network monitoring applications. We'll also take a quick look at using MTRG (Multi-router Traffic Grapher) with SNMP. MRTG can capture and display any SNMP data, once you figure out how to find the OIDs you need.

These are numerical hierarchies assigned to devices and functions. The OID for the Internet is 1.3.6.1. Where do these numbers come from? They come from MIBs (Management Information Bases). Each MIB contains wads of OIDs. This lovely ASCII illustration shows the main MIBs you need to know about: root | ITU-T(0) -- ISO(1) -- Joint-ISO-ITU-T(2) | ORG(3) | DOD(6) | Internet(1) ____|_____ | Management(2) DOD means Department of Defense, which is where the Internet was born. Another view of this is at the OID repository. This contains all the officially-assigned OIDs in a searchable database, and in nice friendly tree views. Or as friendly as a 77,000-object database can be. Preparing SNMP Before you try to make MRTG pick up on SNMP-fu, you need to make a couple of configuration tweaks in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. The example file is big and confusing, so shove it out of the way, but not too far because it's a good reference: root@xena:/etc/snmp# mv snmpd.conf snmpd.conf-old root@xena:/etc/snmp# chmod 0666 snmpd.conf-old This makes it world-readable because it's not your real configuration file, so there's no reason to protect it. The very minimum snmpd.conf file yo
