Multi Router Traffic Grapher Module Version 0.2
About this module

This is the Webmin Interface for the SNMP monitoring system MRTG. If you need help on MRTG please read the docs that come with MRTG or go to their website at www.mrtg.org. This module supports only a small number of MRTGs features.

To use this module you must have MRTG installed and you need directories for configuration and html data. Please be aware that this module creates a link to the html path which is then accessible via http. For some systems configurations have been predefined but you need to supply paths if they are special. After that everything including detecting the MRTG version, copying the necessary files, setting up a crontab entry and the symlink to the data will work automatically. Reconfiguration should work the same. Crontab entries will never be deleted. You will be warned about duplicates.

The module supports one configuration file which contains multiple hosts. You can clone the module to separate different groups of monitored hosts. ACLs can be set up to keep a user from configuring MRTG.
