Hi Steve, I?m very new to MRTG having only recently downloaded the MRTG bundle from http://open-innovations.com/mrtgbundle.html, and I appreciate your assistance and patience. I have tried your previous suggestion and checked the file permissions (w2k) but still no .rrd file. Could you give a more detailed explanation, aimed at a novice, on how the .rrd file should be created, many thanks.

This is really a MRTG question, rather than a routers2 question. You'll get much more detailed documentation from Tobi's site and all the docs that are shipped with MRTG. However...

The MRTG program reads the .cfg files, polls the devices, and when it first gets some valid data it generates the .rrd files to hold it. Subsequently it updates them. If you are not getting .rrd files created, then either (1) you are looking in the wrong place, (2) the MRTG process does not have write permission to the directory, (3) you have a syntax error in your .cfg files, (4) MRTG is not managing to successfully poll the devices, or (5) you havent actually run MRTG at all yet.

To identify these, check the output of the MRTG process (I dont know where open innovations send this, Ive never seen their bundle). Maybe run mrtg manually from the commandline on the cfg files, and see if you get any error messages? Make sure you are actually running MRTG -- are you using daemon mode, or a scheduler? If you are using a scheduler, is it activated?

Check the open innovations documentation to see how they set your system up - using daemon or scheduler, what user the processes run as, where the files are put, and so on. Also find what they do with the MRTG error messages so that you can review them!

Once the rrd files have been created, then you access routers2 via your web server to view their contents.

I'm guessing you have a syntax error in the .cfg file and MRTG is not running, or you are not running MRTG at all yet.
