Creating jobs for CPU , Memory and Disk Usage

CPU

/etc/cron.mrtg/cpu

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/cpu.cfg

Memory

/etc/cron.mrtg/mem

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mem.cfg

Memory Free

/etc/cron.mrtg/memfree

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/memfree.cfg

Memory Percentage

/etc/cron.mrtg/mempercent

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mempercent.cfg

Disk

/etc/cron.mrtg/disk

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/disk.cfg

Run each script 3 times (disregard the warnings)

/etc/cron.mrtg/cpu
/etc/cron.mrtg/mem
/etc/cron.mrtg/memfree
/etc/cron.mrtg/mempercent
/etc/cron.mrtg/disk

Make the Index Files

#/usr/bin/indexmaker –output=/var/www/mrtg/index.html \
–title=”Memory and CPU Usage ” \
–sort=name \
–enumerate \
/etc/mrtg/cpu.cfg \
/etc/mrtg/mem.cfg \
