MRTG RRDtool Total Statistics is a PHP script that uses MRTG and RRDtool to sum up traffic monthly and yearly. Just click on any device and MRTS will show you the traffic-graphs and the statistics on how much traffic you have made during the actual/last months/year.

MRTS is short for “MRTG RRDtool Total Statistics”. It is a PHP script written by Thor Dreier that uses “MRTG and RRDtool to sum up total traffic monthly and yearly”. But why making words, if you can see the full power of MRTS in some examples: http://mrts.domainnet.dk

First thing to do is to check, which of the above mentioned packages you already have installed. No idea? Well, then you should do a simple
ls /var/db/pkg
or
pkg_info

which lists the packages, you have installed using the FreeBSD ports. If you don’t know what the FreeBSD ports are, then you probably won’t have to read on, as some basics really are required in this tutorial ;) Anyway, i’m trying to explain step by step. After you have checked your installed packages, install the packages you still need.
Net-SNMP: /usr/ports/net-mgmt/net-snmp
MRTG: /usr/ports/net-mgmt/mrtg
RRDtool: /usr/ports/net/rrdtool

Some of these programs depend on various libraries (e.g. zlib, libpng, GD), but that’s the good thing: The port-install-mechanism will automatically check, if you have them or not and it will install them, if needed. Do a make && make install && make clean

in the corresponding port directories to install that specific port. Now it could take a while until all ports are compiled.
