Description
^^^^^^^^^^^

The Multi Router Traffic Grapher is a perl5 script. It can be
used to monitor a number of Internet links. It produces a html
page which contains 4 graphs, showing the load on the link over
the last 31 hours, 8 days, 31 days and 365 days respectively.
Check the stats of De Montfort University's Internet Link to see
a sample

	http://www.dmu.ac.uk/ln/netcomm/traffic/

The program runs as a cron job and is therefore quite robust to
system crashes.

The data from the routers is acquired through an SNMP agent.
Currently, mrtg supports snmpget from the cmu-snmp distribution,
the snmp-get from the tricklet package by Delft University and
the getone tool found preinstalled on some systems. 

The graphs are produced with ppmtogif from the netpbm package.

News for Version 1.6
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   * Support for additional SNMP packages included: tricklet and
     getone

   * The the niceness of the mrtg process and 

   * the SNMP community string can now be configured. 

   * The graphs are all about equally wide now. This means that
     you get 31 h in the daily graph and 8 days in the weekly
     graph. This allows easy comparing over a day or a week ...

   * Support has been added to pull stats from several links into
     one graph.

Thanks to Johannes Demel ([email-masked]) and Mike
Convey ([email-masked]) for their patches. They were the main
inspiration for this release.
