FAQ 

Alex van den Bogaerdt <alex@ergens.op.Het.Net> maintains the MRTG FAQ website on 
 

In the following sections you'll find some additonal Frequently
Asked Questions, with Answers.

Why is there no @#$% (my native language) version of
MRTG?

 Nobody has
contributed a @#$%.pmd file yet. Go into the
mrtg-2.10.5/translate directory and create your own
translation file. When you are happy with it send it to me for
inclusion with the next mrtg release.


I need a script to make mrtg work with my xyz
device. 

 Probably this has already been
done. Check the stuff in the mrtg-2.10.5/contrib directory.
There is a file called 00INDEX in that directory which tells
what you can find in there.

How does this SNMP thing
work

 There are many resources on the net
that explain SNMP. Take a look at this
article from the Linux Journal by David Guerrero

 

And at this rather long document from CISCO.
