MRTG cfgmaker script problem with Fedora

[cheezetrix]

I'm having a problem with the MRTG cfgmaker script under Fedora. I run the command like this.

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --output=/etc/mrtg/localhost.cfg -ifref=ip --global 'workdir: /var/www/mrtg/data' --global 'options[_]: growright,bits' mypassword@172.16.1.200

and get this output with everything commented out in the .cfg file. Anyone has any experience with this? I tried new & old verions of MRTG, SNMP and the kernel. Nothing.

Any help welcome.

### Interface 6 >> Descr: '' | Name: '' | Ip: '172.16.1.200' | Eth: '' ###
### The following interface is commented out because:
### * has a speed of which makes no sense
### * got 'Received SNMP response with error code
### error status: noSuchName
### index 1 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.6)

I've seen this before with Fedora Core.

The "-ifref=ip" cfgmaker statement gives graphs sorted by IP address with the IP address also as part of the graph's title. It really makes the graph easier to recognize with an autogenerated .cfg file.

The problem is that it doesn't work correctly with Fedora Core servers polling other Fedora Core servers. This "IP" option creates errors with Fedora Core 1 that prevent the graphs from being created.

Try removing the "-ifref=ip" and see if that works.
