MRTG 2 Nics

I have mrtg installed and working great. I do have 2 questions. Currently the server is only using one of the 2 installed nics and it shows up in mrtg however I am going to set this box up as a router within the next month and would like to know how to get statistics for the other nic.

Also is there a way to reset all of the mrtg data so that it appears that it was just setup and started today?

Thanks,
GodCandy

I was wondering the same thing. I did a mistake with my mem.cfg file, and now the png has a peak which says 900Gb. This is clearly not right (I have multiplied some values with 1000). So I am eager to find a way to reset the graph displaying my memory usage. But I do not understand how I would do that.

EDIT: inside the folder where the graphs are created (usually in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mrtg) you have some .log files. Delete those, and you should be on track again (with a new, empty graph on the next run).

Remember to run /etc/cron.mrt/mem (or whatever graph you want to reset) three times to get it to work.

Another thought...

If your heart isn't set on MRTG, look into Cacti... It uses RRD and has a whole management that's powered via web... It's very nice...
