[ixpmanager] Grapher

[Diarmuid O Briain]

Barry,

My I also suggest changing the defaults in $IXPROOT/.env to match your
documentation and adding a default for GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_DBTYPE which is
missing. I had to append it rather than change it.

i.e. this is what is required to make the changes for MRTG now. It was
ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ sudo sed -i.bak -e "/GRAPHER_BACKENDS/ i # Added for IXP
Manager Lab `date +'%D'`" \
  -e '/GRAPHER_BACKENDS/ s/.*/GRAPHER_BACKENDS="mrtg"/' \
  -e '/MRTG_WORKDIR/s/.*/GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_WORKDIR="\/srv\/mrtg"/' \
  -e '/MRTG_LOGDIR/s/.*/GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_LOGDIR="\/srv\/mrtg"/' \
  -e '/MRTG_LOGDIR/ a GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_DBTYPE="rrd"' \
  -e '/GRAPHER_CACHE_ENABLED/ s/.*/GRAPHER_CACHE_ENABLED=true/'
$IXPROOT/.env


ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ diff $IXPROOT/.env.bak $IXPROOT/.env
81c81,82
< GRAPHER_BACKENDS="dummy"
