Do you know how to configure, install an MRTG? In case you didn’t know what is MRTG.It is a traffic monitoring software for a network administrator. It gives a RAW data of what goes in and out of the network through the use of SNMP.

MRTG is free software. Just download it and follow the install instructions for Unix/Linux or Windows or NetWare to get get started.

I’m a newbie when it came to linux administration but it seems that it would be a better idea to keep track of my progress as I go along and enjoy freedom of open source. I have configured and install MRTG numerous times. I have read a lot on blogs and forums on how to setup a simple MRTG traffic monitoring device. On the next update of this blog will be my tutorial on how to install and configure a simple yet  usable and working MRTG Traffic monitoring device.
