Step # 5 : Commands to Configure mrtg
(a) Create a document root to store mrtg graphs/html pages for Apache web-server, enter:
# mkdir -p /var/www/html/mymrtg/
(b) Run any one of the following cfgmaker command to create mrtg configuration file:
# cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/html/mymrtg' --output /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg public@localhost
OR (make sure FQDN resolves. In the following example I'm using rh9.test.com i.e. my router's FQDN address)
# cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/html/mymrtg' --output /etc/mrtg/mymrtg1.cfg public@rh9.test.com
(c) Create a default index page for your MRTG configuration, run:
# indexmaker --output=/var/www/html/mymrtg/index.html /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg
(d) Copy all tiny png files to your mrtg path, run:
# cp -av /var/www/html/mrtg/*.png /var/www/html/mymrtg/
First test run of mrtg
Install mrtg if not installed
