| MuleMRTG
The Windows NT series (NT, 2k, XP, 2003) is able to log and display
performance information with the built in perfmon console. eMule
(v.42.1+) is also able to log some performance data in the same format
as perfmon does.
MRTG - Multi Router Traffic Grapher is a tool which
displays this information as graphs in HTML documents. In the first
place this tool is used to monitor in- and outgoing traffic of servers
or routers but works equally well for long time monitoring of eMule.
See this example.
The following procedure describes how to set up MRTG as a NT service
using the installer provided on the Download page.
Works only on Windows NT, 2k, XP, 2003 not on Win9x/ME

•
|
Download and install Active Perl with default settings
|
|
•
|
srvany.exe and intsrv.exe are needed for MRTG to
run as a service. Download Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (the
MS installer works only for XP and 2003 but not for 2k (the
contained srvany does work on 2k) or Google for a download of it.
Copy the two files to any folder.

|
•
|
Download and run the MuleMRTG
installer.
You have to specify the path to the Active Perl installation
(e.g. C:\Perl) and the path to srvany.exe. The other
paths should be already filled with the correct paths. All used
paths must not contains any blanks or trailling \

Every 5 minutes MRTG reads a sample from eMule's performance log and
creates a HTML output to view. The HTML files are stored in the HTML
Output directory and may be opened with any browser. Just doubleclick
on the index.html file.
MRTG is used for long time statistics. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes
for the first daily graph to display.
Applies to: v.42.a+
