• rtm_dir—The RTM directory is where MRTG will create and update the RRDTool archive
files. It is recommended that the target directory provided to the rtmcmd will be different
to the RTM directory. After rtmcmd completes the templates processing, you will be
required to copy the CFG and CGI files to the RTM directory (see Installing the CFG and
CGI Files for Use by MRTG and RRD (on page 3-5)). See also SCA BB Real Time
Monitoring Setup (on page 1-5).
• mrtg_bin_dir—The location where MRTG binary files are installed. This location is used
to create the MRTG invocation commands written to the crontab sample file.
• rtmcmd:
• source directory—The location where rtmcmd will find the report templates
• destination directory—The location where rtmcmd will save the CFG and CGI files that
it creates.
After you run rtmcmd, you must move the generated files from this location to the
appropriate MRTG and RRDTool directories.
• config-file—The location and filename of the user configuration file referred to above.
• Service Configuration—The location and name of the PQB file. The Service
Configuration may alternatively be retrieved from a specified SCE platform.
Installing the CFG and CGI Files for Use by MRTG and RRDTool
After the CFG and CGI files have been created by the rtmcmd utility, you must install them into
your RTM setup.
First Installation
If this is a fresh installation of an RTM setup complete the following steps:
Step 1 Copy the entire contents of the target directory created by rtmcmd, including all sub-directories,
to the RTM directory. The RTM directory is specified by the rtm_dir property in the rtmcmd user
configuration file. The two crontab.txt sample files should be excluded from the copy operation.
Step 2 Add a Cron task that invokes MRTG periodically (every 5 minutes) on these CFG files, by adding
a task line to the crontab file. On Windows workstations the line should look something like this:
