Hello, I have the following setup in cron for my MRTG stats: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/bandwidth.cfg 0,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/cpu.cfg 0,12,22,32,42,52 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/cpu-temp.cfg 0,13,23,33,43,53 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/ping.cfg 0,15,25,35,45,55 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/memory.cfg 0,16,26,36,46,56 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/newconns.cfg 0,17,27,37,47,57 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/estabcons.cfg 0,18,28,38,48,58 * * * * env LANG=C ../../mrtg-2/bin/mrtg ../...stats/ping2.cfg But I'm not sure how much power it actually takes to generate theses MRTG stats... The server is a Celeron D 2.8Ghz, 512Mb ATA soft raid system. Do you think that I should update the stats less frequently to decrease the server usage? /Oskar
You can watch the load average with the top command. Or you install munin: http://www.howtoforge.com/server_monitoring_with_munin_monit_debian_etch http://www.howtoforge.com/server_monitoring_with_munin_monit_fedora_7
