help with running MRTG on local computer
 

HI there,

am trying out MRTG for the first time. i have installed all the need tools and libraries, gd, zlib, libpng etc and also MRTG itself.

i also have installed SNMP and tested it: when i run the following command it gives:

[root@mail Documents]# snmpwalk -v 2c localhost -c public system
sysDescr.0 "Linux 2.4.22"
sysObjectID.0 netSnmpAgentOIDs.10
sysUpTime.0 133046
sysContact.0 root <root@mail.casttechnologies.com>
sysName.0 mail.casttechnologies.com
sysLocation.0 Lagos, Nigeria
sysORLastChange.0 14
sysORID.1 ifMIB
sysORID.2 snmpMIB
sysORID.3 tcpMIB
sysORID.4 ip
sysORID.5 udpMIB
sysORID.6 vacmBasicGroup
sysORID.7 snmpFrameworkMIBCompliance
sysORID.8 snmpMPDCompliance
sysORID.9 usmMIBCompliance

sysORUpTime.5 11
sysORUpTime.6 11
sysORUpTime.7 14
sysORUpTime.8 14
sysORUpTime.9 14

i shud think this means my snmp is running well . Mind u, this is a local computer connected on a network. the snmp device here is just my network card (Realtek 8139 c+).

i then created the working dir /var/www/mrtg

and the mrtg.cfg dit /home/mrtg/cfg/. i then ran the following

[root@mail Documents]# /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]:bits,growright' --output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg public@192.168.0.68

and then:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.2.5
