Summary:

This KB explains how to deploy open source software (Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) to monitor the health of Citect Servers and Clients on the network LAN.   

Solution:

Before you start, you will need the following:

Installing

To make the most use of MRTG, I would suggest installing it on the machine that the Citect webserver is installed on.  That way, you can make use of the IIS webserver.  This is handy as other clients can access the monitoring data too.
 

Unzip MRTG to C:\mrtg-2.16.2 on the Windows machine of your choice.

Install Perl on the same Windows machine. You might want to make sure that the Perl binary directory is listed in your system path.

C:\Perl\bin;

You can manually check this by going to [Control Panel]->[System]->[Environment]

To see if everything is installed properly you can open a Command Shell and go into c:\mrtg-2.16.2\bin. Type:

perl mrtg

This should give you a friendly error message complaining about the missing MRTG configuration file. Now, you have successfully installed MRTG and Perl.
