I'm assuming you're logging in as an administrator here. One thing it 
may be (and it happens from time to time in development when I don't 
have remote access to our mrtg server) is that there may be an issue 
loading the aggregate graphs.

See this section: http://git.io/Fby9mg and this section: 
http://git.io/8m-ofA

Note that in our case we load graphs from a separate dedicated 
monitoring / graphing server.

Ensure that these members:

  - have a virtual interface (should have already if you're seeing 
comments on the mrtg conf file)
  - that the virtual interfaces have a physical interface (or more for LAGs)
  - ensure the physical interfaces are associated with a switchport

Will you review this page in detail: 
https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/wiki/MRTG - and particularly the 
section on integrating with IXP Manager.

I suspect the answer is in there somewhere.

That's a first pass - we really need to migrate this from CLI to API so 
you can run it from any server.

Let us know how you get on,
