Wrong graph being displayed for a target

Thanks for the information. I figured it out, but it wasn't what I expected. In my MRTG file, part of the target name is capitalized (ex: SERVER_mem). Somehow, the actual target name being passed from MRTG to BB (and eventually to Routers2) was 'server_mem'. As a result, Routers2 shows the default picture because it doesn't recognize the target name. I went through my MRTG file and changed all instances of the target name to all lower case, then it worked properly.

I've modified the bbmrtg.pl script to work with routers2, which allows me to monitor MRTG targets using Big Brother, and alert me if thresholds are reached. I'm monitoring the CPUs, memory, processes, and network activity on a Windows server, and I've set up the MRTG script with the appropriate information so that Big Brother can read the data. Big Brother displays the correct statistics for the target, but the graph that is displayed is not the correct one. If I check the link for the graph on the Big Brother page, the target listed is the correct one. But when I click on the graph, I'm directed to the routers2 pages, and the wrong graph still appears. I tried manually typing in the address to get the graph (based on the documentation), but that didn't work either.

I followed the documentation on how to create image links that go into other pages, and it works correctly on all of my other networked devices, but not the Windows target. Here's the format I'm using (actual host names have been changed ... and there's an underscore between 'server' and 'mem')

http:///mrtg/?rtr=server.cfg&if=server_mem&xgtype=d&page=image

The only difference between the devices and the Windows server is how I've named them in my MRTG scripts. For the devices, I've named them by IP, whereas the I've named the Windows server by its name.

Any ideas as to why I cannot see the correct graph? Thanks.
