[rtg] rtg db is not updating the changes

[Sekhar]

thanks for your reply but i am surprised why database is not updating automatically and we have to do manually it is not good for any admins if they have 1000's of interfaces where they need to chage daily description change no one want to do manually all those things.
   
  any one or rtg developers can help how to update the database also if we add or remove any routers or interfaces.
   
  Thanks

I use 0.7.4 on FreeBSD, and perform the following steps if I add a new 
router, switch, or interface:

Run rtgtargmkr.pl
Find the current poller PID (it's not in /var/run/)
Kill it
Restart the poller

Crude script to start the poller on FreeBSD 4.x follows:

#!/bin/sh
echo -n ' rtg '

case "$1" in
start)
/usr/local/bin/rtgpoll -t /usr/local/etc/rtg/targets.cfg &
;;
stop)
# kill -9 `cat /var/run/rtg.pid`
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
exit 64
;;
esac

exit 0

Then, if rtgtargmkr did not pick up the interface description (HP, 3Com 
and Intel make it difficult to set the description OID correctly where 
rtg can find it), I have to log into the database and manually update 
the descriptions as suggested by rtgtargmkr.

Hope this helps,
