routers2.cgi

You are advised to obtain the latest versions of Perl and the necessary libraries. This uses Tobi Oetiker's excellent RRDTool and MRTG , and you should obtain the latest version (1.0.40 at last count) in order to avoid known problems.

Taking a leaf from Tobi's book, I have decided to create my own Amazon Wishlist so that you lucky people can show your appreciation of my software skills by sending me presents. Anyone who feels that they have benefited sufficiently from the use of my software is invited to help encourage the development by sending me a gift from the list.

routers2.cgi is a frontend to data stored in rrdtool databases. This is written in Perl, and requires the MRTG system to collect the data. Although the name would indicate otherwise, this frontend will work in the same way as 14all.cgi, and can provide a generic frontend for ALL MRTG collected data. You should also install the Perl GD library (although this is not essential). NT Users can get GD via the PPM software shipped with ActivePerl. UNIX users can download it from www.cpan.org.

You're getting this software for free - so please click on an ad and help me pay for this web site!

Example screenshots (v1.31)
Demonstration system (v2.16b7)
This demonstration system will allow you to view the MRTG .cfg files, and the routers2.conf file, as configuration examples. Of course, a normal installation would protect these files. If you get a '500 Server Error' on this, just refresh the page. The poor server is a bit overloaded.
