WHAT? MRTG only needs to be running on the collection server. SNMP needs to be running on the remote machine. You need to read some
MRTG docs to figure out what MRTG can do, and there is no reason to run MRTG on every machine you monitor. I'd get shot if I asked to run MRTG on all 10,000 or so servers I'm monitoring...

Ok, that is a bit more in line with what I thought how MRTG worked. Figure if I run one collection server per noc, i'll be good to go.
