[MRTG] Limitations
AS...@chrysler.com
want to report on Input, Output, and Errors you can't do it, without
setting up a separate config file and hence separating data you should keep
together.
MRTG can't do any 'proactive' monitoring (sending out an alert when a
threshold is reached).
MRTG is a good program but these should be addressed in the next version.

Already are. The 3.0 alpha version allows for all that,
and more.

Yes, you're right. But it's not too hard to knock together a simple
script (Perl, shell, whatever takes your fancy) which runs from a cron
job *after* mrtg finishes its scheduled run. Just check the head of the
logfile - if the values are too high/low/out of spec, send a mail (or
page someone).

There isn't a scheduled release date, as more and more
functionality is still being added, and the internal
structures are still changing. It's great for doing
testing and development on, but I wouldn't recommend
it for production environments until Tobi has locked
down the RRD format.
