Look at my previous post title "MRTG TIPS for Windows" in the archive.
The files included should be of help to you. Cant help you with the Daemon part. I still need to do that.

You'll actually want your MRTG directory as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mrtg By default, IIS runs out of \inetpub\wwwroot, not \inetpub 2. Check from the SB site and download the sb-mrtg.pl stuff. Inside the Windows version, you'll see sample .cfg files. Note that you'll want your CFG file to read as Target[devicename]: `wperl sb-mrtg.pl -i 192.168.0.22 -c public -t w` (don't quote me on the above, that's just from memory) The point being is that you'll need to use backticks (I *think*) and you'll want to call "wperl" instead of "perl". 3. You'll want to run this as a daemon process, ....but I forget how you'll need to do that. Check with Sully, Earl and the other guys. While we're on the topic of MRTG... Is anyone making ~200 calls every 5 minutes? I'm doing it on a P300 RedHat box and the box owner is telling me that his MUDD game is dragging .probably because of it. Suggestions? (I haven't tried the "forks" directive. Will give that a shot, but I don't know if that runs automatically) TIM From: "John Gantt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 18:30:12 -0400 >I am stumped! > >I have installed ActivePerl on a Windows XP Pro laptop, and can run the >"perl sb-mrtg.pl -i <IP ADDRESS> -c <Community String> -t w" and I receive >the proper information back in the command line window.
