[ixpmanager] Grapher

[Diarmuid O Briain]

Hi,

After reading the manual you are left with the impression that this command
it only generating output to stdout, a sort of test if you will.

------------
+# Move to the directory where you have installed IXP Manager (typically:
/srv/ixpmanager)
+cd $IXPROOT
+
+# Generate MRTG configuration and output to stdout:
 ./artisan grapher:generate-configuration -B mrtg

------------

However, it appears to be generating these files ?

ubuntu at ixpm1:/srv/ixpmanager$ ls -la database/Proxies | grep 'Feb 24'
drwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data  3028 Feb 24 06:53 .
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 12083 Feb 24 06:53 __CG__EntitiesCabinet.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 14049 Feb 24 06:53
__CG__EntitiesCompanyBillingDetail.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 10639 Feb 24 06:53
__CG__EntitiesCompanyRegisteredDetail.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  9490 Feb 24 06:53
__CG__EntitiesInfrastructure.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  7446 Feb 24 06:53
__CG__EntitiesIRRDBConfig.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 18212 Feb 24 06:53 __CG__EntitiesSwitcher.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 21414 Feb 24 06:53
__CG__EntitiesSwitchPort.php
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data  8238 Feb 24 06:53 __CG__EntitiesVendor.php

Is this correct ?

regards,

Diarmuid
