[ixpmanager] Graphing

[m.daada at ixp.net.ng]

Hello Diarmuid,

 

Did you install IXP Manager using the script? If the answer is yes try the following commands:

 

./artisan grapher:generate-configuration -B mrtg -O /srv/mrtg.cfg.candidate

killall -9 mrtg

env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /srv/mrtg.cfg.candidate

 

Best regards,

 

Muyiwa (IXPN)

Edrich et al,

 

Thanks, I certainly thought so. However I am confused about that now. The notes on Grapher talk about starting and stopping using standard initd scripts ? Ubuntu 16.04 upon which the IXP Manager is based uses systemctl not initd. 

 

According to the documentation:

 

To start and stop MRTG use the standard initd scripts:

 

ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ sudo cp $IXPROOT/tools/runtime/mrtg/ubuntu-mrtg-initd /etc/init.d/mrtg

 

ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mrtg

 

ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ sudo update-rc.d mrtg defaults

 

ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mrtg start

[....] Starting mrtg (via systemctl): mrtg.serviceJob for mrtg.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mrtg.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

 failed!

 

ubuntu at ixpm1:~$ systemctl status mrtg.service

● mrtg.service - LSB: mrtg init script

   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mrtg; bad; vendor preset: enabled)

   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2018-03-02 11:06:15 UTC; 39s ago

     Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

  Process: 1798 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mrtg start (code=exited, status=2)

 

It then says: 

 

And disable the default cron job for MRTG on Ubuntu (/etc/cron.d/mrtg).

 

So which is it, does it run as a daemon or does /etc/cron.d/mrtg run the cron every 5 minutes ? 

 

My /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log is giving the following message:

 

ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg seems to be running. Check /etc/mrtg.pid

Daemonizing MRTG ...

ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg seems to be running. Check /etc/mrtg.pid

ERROR: I Quit! Another copy of mrtg seems to be running. Check /etc/mrtg.pid

Daemonizing MRTG ...

 

root at ixpm1:~# cat /etc/mrtg.pid

1666

 

The MRTG process is running. 

 

root at ixpm1:~# ps -ef | grep mrtg

root      1666     1  0 11:00 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg.cfg

 

regards,

 

Diarmuid

It's not clear from the above as to what's not working?
