[ixpmanager] MRTG

[Nick Hilliard]

IXP Manager just creates mrtg configuration files.  If the graphs appear 
on IXP Manager, then IXP Manager is working correctly, and the 
configuration file that IXP Manager creates is OK.

If the graphs don't update correctly then it's a problem relating to how 
you're using MRTG.  In other words, it's not an IXP Manager problem.

Probably you've restarted MRTG using the wrong configuration file.  You 
should make sure that you only have a single mrtg.cfg file on the 
filesystem, so you should delete /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg and just use 
/etc/mrtg.cfg.  Make sure that after you delete /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg, that 
you restart mrtg using "service mrtg restart".
