Have you already used MRTG > to monitor linux routers? Yes. You can install an snmp daemon on your Linux box, which will make it respond to snmp commands a router would respond to as well. I don't like this approach because my 8MB 486 router didn't have enough memory to run an snmp daemon concurrently with mrtg. The second way, which I like a lot better, is to have mrtg call an external program which then creates the right numbers. Very easy to do: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin ipchains -vx -L output | grep $1 | cut -b 9-19 ipchains -vx -L input | grep $1 | cut -b 9-19 uptime echo $1-router This creates output mrtg can understand.
