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.

It seems like there is some data missing from the above post….. There is nothing under the “1) Comment out lines (as follows)” section. Would really like to get mrtg working under my VPS!
