You are misunderstanding what MRTG does. MRTG isn't a server that runs all the time. You configure it to poll certain SNMP hosts and then you run it, usually every five minutes, from cron, and it creates graphs that then get served up usually by a webserver like apache. I would read the documentation more. cfgmaker is a utility that comes with for making the config files (though you can do a lot more than what cfgmaker will do for you), and indexmaker can make an index page of all the graphs for you, if you want something quick and dirty.
The reason mrtg didn't do anything when you ran it like that is that you haven't configured it to do anything - i.e. poll any hosts. I think you just have to read the documentation a lot more. Good luck. -Josiah On 7/4/16 4:45 PM, thomaz portella wrote: > > I am configuring remotely. > I found the cfg file located at /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg > So I tried The and: > env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg > Nothing happens. > Even trying ps -ef |grep mrtg nothing is running. > Before trying to start, I changed display tiping export DISPLAY=<IP>=0.0 . > But didn't work. > What can I do? > Tks > > > > _______________________________________________ > mrtg mailing list > mrtg@lists.oetiker.ch > https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg -- Wm.
