Hello,

Is it possible to use the routers2.conf file to create directories and subs so that the information is displayed on r2cgi in a neater way?

Example:

Main Folder = Hardware
Sub Folder 1 = Ram
Sub Folder 2 = CPU

and so on. The idea is that the cgi interface would store the respective graphs under the specified folder rather than having all components shown under the main folder.

/etc/mrtg/Hardware = Hardware
/etc/mrtg/Hardware/Ram = Ram
/etc/mrtg/Hardware/Ram = CPU

The above in routers2.conf will only create individual folders, not grouped under a master.

Is there a way this can be achieved?

Yes, this can be done.

By default, the groups are named by the directory names and kept separate. However, you can use the 'multilevel=yes' option in the routers2.conf to make these heirachial.

By default, the heirachy will name according to the directory, and separate levels by a colon.

You can use 'groupsep=/' to set the group separator to a stroke and this will cause it to split according to the filesystem layout.

Alternatively, use the [targetnames] section of routers2.conf to override the descriptions for the paths:

/mrtg/conf/foo = Top:Next
/mrtg/conf/foo/baz = Top:Next:eric
/mrtg/conf/bar = Top:Next:sid

You see that when doing this, the group heirachy does not need to correspond to the filesystem layout.
