   What is the Multi Router Traffic Grapher?
   
   The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the
   traffic load on network-links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing
   GIF images which provide a LIVE visual representation of this traffic.
   Check [40]http://www.ee.ethz.ch/stats/mrtg/ for an example. MRTG is
   based on Perl and C and works under UNIX and Windows NT. MRTG is being
   successfully used on many sites around the net. Check the
   [41]MRTG-Site-Map.
   
   [42]What is MRTG ()

   configuring the system.
   
   [47]Win32 MRTG Installation Guide ()

   MRTG is freely available under the terms of the
   [48]GNU General Public License
   
   [49]MRTG Appreciators
          I spend a lot of my time maintaining MRTG, answering user
   requests and writing other open source software packages. I keep a
   list of people who have shown their appreciation for my work. For
   example by [50]ordering CD or DVD media from my wish list.
   
   
   MRTG Documentation Pack
   
   [51]CfgMaker Manual ()

   Then it is best ask someone who can help.
   
   
   Advanced User Information
   
   [56]Contribution Guidelines ()
          If you plan on contributing code to the MRTG project, please
   make sure you follow the guide lines listed in this document.
   
   [57]RRDtool
          Want to write your own monitoring application? Need more
   powerful graphing? Want to store non integer data? Need more speed?
   Make sure to check out my latest creation: RRDtool.
   
   [58]RRDtool Integration ()
          MRTG can be used together with RRDtool. Lifting it up to a new
   level of performance and flexibility.
   
   [59]MRTG Logfile Format ()
          Some people want to use the data stored in the mrtg log files
   with programs of their own. Learn about the format of the MRTG log
   files.
   
   [60]MRTG_lib Perl Module ()
          Parts of mrtg have been broken out into a Perl module called
   MRTG_lib.pm. Nothing beautiful, but at least there is some
   documentation for it. If you want to write something which parses the
   mrtg configuration file then this might be very useful.
   
   [61]MIB Help ()
          Locking at Traffic rates is interesting, but your router can
   tell you much more. Use this document to get started.
   
   [62]SQUID Monitoring ()
          An Introduction on Using MRTG to monitor a SQUID web cache
   
   [63]Webserver Configuration Hints ()
          Your web server is vital in making mrtg generated web pages and
   graphs available to your customers. This document gives some hints on
   how optimize your web server regarding mrtg.
