Michael, Now there is a solid solution. Although it is more complex than I also want to go. I on occasion get burned by mrtg non-execution due to old config's and such and have yet to give this considerable thought.
Another option may be to simply look at the file modification time of the rrd, maybe. My problem is we were just purchased and our net is reeling with changes. Anyway, thanks for the post of your solution as it gives me something to think about. Cheers, Woody... -----Original Message----- From: Michael Markstaller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 9:16 AM To: Jason Humes; MRTG Mailing List Subject: [mrtg] Re: Monitoring MRTG to make sure it is running I had the same problem, my solution is: - I changed my "mrtg-display.cgi" (own customize, deriverd from mrtg-rrd.cgi and 14all.cgi and some own code) to output either "RRDsOK" or "RRDsOLD" in a HTML-comment. - use Nagios/check_http to look for the string "RRDsOK" in the HTML-code of several targets This ensures that everything from the data-collection to the web-display is working 100% fine (but is quite complex, I know).. Maybe it gives you some hint where to go, there should be at least a "Last updated" on each MRTG-page which could be checked some way, but I doubt WhatsUp is able to handle complex checks (?)

We use WhatsUp Gold to do most of our network/service monitoring. Thanks. Jason D.
