This is bit tricky. But it is possible to configure MRTG for Virtuozzo VPS Linux. Please see MRTG configuration howto if you are new to MRTG. After running command:
# cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/html/mymrtg' --output /etc/mrtg/mymrtg1.cfg public@rh3.cyberciti.org
Above command will only look for 127.0.0.1 (both lo and venet0)as rest of real ips are alias to venet0 interface. You need to open mrtg file /etc/mrtg/mymrtg.cfg and edit it by hand:
1) Comment out lines (as follows)
2) Add IP addrss 127.0.0.1 and MaxBytes 1250000 as shown in bold letter as follows:
Target[rh3_2]: 2:public@rh3:
SetEnv[rh3_2]: MRTG_INT_IP="127.0.0.1" MRTG_INT_DESCR="venet0"
MaxBytes[rh3_2]: 1250000
Title[rh3_2]: Traffic Analysis for 2 -- rh3.cyberciti.org
PageTop[rh3_2]:Traffic Analysis for 2 -- rh3.cyberciti.org
System: rh3.cyberciti.org in Linux (RH3_UP2), EV1 IDC2,TX. Maintainer: Vivek G Gite <vivek@nixcraft.com> Description: venet0 ifType: Other (1) ifName: Max Speed: 1250.0 kBytes/s
Make sure you have properly configured snmp server. After that run mrtg as usual.
