     If you want people to actually see the results of your
     network monitoring efforts you will need a webserver.

     This document lists some configuration hints for webservers.
     Contributions welcome.

     A big issue with mrtg monitoring data is the expiery time.
     All these nice graphs you can create are only valid for a
     short time.  If you do not take special action some
     webbrowsers will not notice this and you may end up with
     people seeing old data because of caching issues.

     The apache module mod_expire allows you to setup special
     expiery properties for individual file.

     Here is an example for how this may look for an mrtg web
     directory.  The configuration directives can be stored into
     a _._h_t_a_c_c_e_s_s file.

      # Example .htaccess for use with apache-1.2 and mod_expire.
      # (mod_expire come with apache-1.2 but you have to explicitly
      # activate it when compiling the httpd ...)
