The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load on network-links.
MRTG generates HTML pages containing PNG images which provide a LIVE visual representation of this traffic. You need the following packages:
- mrtg : Multi Router Traffic Grapher
- net-snmp and net-snmp-utils : SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools. net-snmp package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc. You also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
