Hi! If your here it must mean your familiar with MRTG. The basis of this page is to help you with a front-end for MRTG. A quick over-view can be found to the right in the Who, What, Why, Where, How section.
Currently, mkmrtg.sh is up to Version 0.9 Remember to check out the stuff on the right. Then click here to jump to the code. :)

Screen-Shot
It may not have a lot of bells & whistles but it gets the job done and its easy to navigate.
Who? My name is Joe. I write and accept contributions of mkmrtg.sh (credit via comment within mkmrtg.sh)
What? mkmrtg.sh is a front-end to MRTG. It is a simple way to create HTML files that contain all of the network (or non-network) nodes your monitoring. Want to see a pic? See this post: Screen-Shot
Why? I found that after the initial setup of MRTG, I spent a lot of time creating web pages to get a central view of the graphs being generated. This was especially true when setting up a 48-Port switch! So, by simply typing ./mkmrtg.sh it does the task in a matter of seconds. :) I also wanted to make sure that new users to MRTG have a simple way to get started.
Where? Anywhere. :) All you need to do is copy the script to your *nix box, run it and your set. :)
How? mkmrtg.sh is written in bash. It is destined to run on a *nix box (not w1nd0w$!). With the simple idea of 'copy, paste, run, done' you can have your front-end very quickly. 1. Copy mkmrtg.sh to your *nix box 2. vi mkmrtg.sh (to change settings to your environment) 3. chmod 700 mkmrtg.sh 4. ./mkmrtg.sh
