.TH CFGSTORAGEMAKER 1 "2002 Feb 6" CFGSTORAGEMAKER
.SH NAME
cfgstoragemaker \- MRTG config generator for storage monitoring via SNMP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cfgstoragemaker
community@host [community@host] [...]
.SH DESCRIPTION

The purpose of \fIcfgstoragemaker\fP is to remotely generate a MRTG
config file in order to graph all the storage devices (disk, memory
and swap) of one or more specific host(s) via SNMP.

As you can imagine, it was heavily inspired by cfgmaker.

.SH ADVANTAGES
One of the most important advantages of \fIcfgstoragemaker\fR is that
you don't have to install and run MRTG on the servers you want to
monitor, everything is done remotely on a distinct and centralized
monitoring host. The datas are acquired by SNMP.

Moreover, you don't have to worry about the list of all the mounted
partitions and their size, \fIcfgstoragemaker\fR will do that for you.
.SH LANGUAGE
\fICfgstoragemaker\fR is written in Perl.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I /usr/share/snmp/mibs/HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.txt
SNMP MIB file provided by ucd-snmp
.TP
.I /usr/share/cfgstoragemaker/templates/header.tpl /usr/share/cfgstoragemaker/templates/body.tpl
templates files to build the config file
.SH SEE ALSO
