Requirements

  • UNIX style Operating System
  • bourne shell
  • nc (netcat) or bash with net-redirections enabled
  • MRTG

Installation

  • copy upnp2mrtg to your favourite place (/usr/local/bin/upnp2mrtg)

  • install netcat

  • check successful operation of upnp2mrtg

  • modify your mrtg.cfg (add mrtg.cfg to your /etc/mrtg.cfg)

  • check if MRTG is configured properly: is mrtg started from cron? check for /etc/cron.d/mrtg or use

      0-59/5 * * * *  /usr/bin/mrtg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log
    

netcat

There are different incarnations of netcat. Type

nc -h

to check which on you use:

Configuration

If you use ...

netcat 1.10

no configuration is required. (Create configuration file /etc/upnp2mrtg.cfg with NETCAT="nc_q" or NETCAT="nc", if you have problems. There are some patched netcat 1.10 around the world with -q Options, which i could'nt not find in the original sources.)

The GNU netcat

create configuration file /etc/upnp2mrtg.cfg with NETCAT="netcat".

some other netcat

use -d Option to debug upnp2mrtg and drop me a note.
