animesharma,
A lot of us who may be strong in terms of the quality or speed of technical work that we do are better at handling that than understanding the nuances of office culture. As someone with Tourette Syndrome (fairly mild, but I often am a little bit "twitchy", I have been misunderstood on many occasions, but since getting into IT/Telecom, my experience and interest have often left me handling more "difficult" work than my peers. Still, it is not uncommon for standouts to find themselves at the business end of disdain and eventual disrespect from people who are different from them. It's unfortunately cost me some great jobs, and I have found myself getting to know folks in positions i start who ask me what I'm doing in the positions because I have a broader deeper experience and understanding of certain things, and I know that sometimes folks just don't like me, despite acting as though they do. However, I have gotten much better at interacting with people, and always find folks who are genuine and even pleasant to work with. While I'd love to find myself in a position where I am understood and appreciated by everyone, the truth is that it doesn't always work out that way. Still, I've had some great experiences, and learned a lot by trying to branch out when possible (and some of those folks I've worked for are willing to give me great references, which always helps). If you feel like this situation is getting more uncomfortable, and like you are less appreciated/understood as time goes on, figure out who you can get a reliable reference from, spruce your resume up, and get your name out there, because it's not worth relying on the goodwill of people that you are not clicking with. More experience will probably help when it comes to making allies and positive business relationships, but if you really do good work and don't look down on people who aren't as technically inclined (and open to learning new skills) you will be able to find better matches for you, whether under different management, in a different location or department, or for another employer.

MRTG-RRD(1)							       mrtg							       MRTG-RRD(1)

NAME

       mrtg-rrd - How to use RRDtool with MRTG

SYNOPSIS

       After using MRTG for some time you may find some limitations. Mostly in the areas of performance and graphing flexibility. These are
       exactly the areas addressed by rrdtool. To learn more about RRDtool check out its website on

	http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool

RRDTOOL INTEGRATION

       When using mrtg with RRDtool you are replacing rateup with the RRDtool perl module RRDs.pm. To enable RRDtool support in mrtg you have to
       add the line

	LogFormat: rrdtool

       MRTG needs access to both the RRDtool perl module RRDs.pm and to the rrdtool executable.

       If these two items are not installed in locations where perl can find them on its own, then you can use the following two parameters to
       supply the appropriate directories.

       For the location of the rrdtool executable you put

	PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/

       or

	PathAdd: c:
rdtoolin

       For the location of the perl module it would be:

	LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl/

       or

	LibAdd: c:
rdtoolinlibperl

       When you have made this modification to the configuration file, several things will happen when you run mrtg again with the new config
       file:

       1.  mrtg will take all your old ".log" files and convert them to ".rrd" format. (The ".log" files don't get touched in the process, so if
	   things don't work out they are still there.)

       2.  mrtg will use rrdtool to update its databases. These will have a new format called rrd which is totally different than the native log
	   format of the classic mrtg.

       3.  mrtg will not create any webpages of graphs anymore.  It will only query the routers for traffic information and update its rrd data-
	   bases.

       The advantage of whole thing is that the mrtg will become much faster. Expect the runtime to drop to 20% of the previous value. (I would
       like to get some feedback on this from folks with large installations)

       Mind you though, while the logging process of RRDtool is very fast, you are also gaining some time by neither creating graphs nor updating
       webpages.  The idea behind this is that it is more efficient to create graphs and webpages on demmand. Using a cgi script.

       At the moment there is no official script to do this, but two contributers have created such scripts:

       14all.cgi
	   Was the first program to take over the webpage creation and graphing task.  It has been developed by Rainer Bawidamann <Rainer.Baw-
	   idamann@informatik.uni-ulm.de>. You can find a copy on Rainers website:

	    http://www.uni-ulm.de/~rbawidam/mrtg-rrd/

	   The program comes with its own documentation

       routers.cgi, servers.cgi and generic.cgi
	   are other cgi frontends to mrtg running with rrdtool. Thier main difference to 14all is, that the web pages it creates are much more
	   stylish than the ones from mrtg. These tools have been written by Steve Shipway <steve.shipway@adsweu.com>. You can find a copy in

	    http://www.cheshire.demon.co.uk/pub/

	   The scripts comes with their own installation instructions.

FUTURE

       Just as a side note: MRTG-3 will be based entirely on rrdtool technology.  But don't wait for it ... get going now!
