The location that MRTG uses for your log files is defined in your  
mrtg.cfg file, specifically the "WorkDir:" directive. Keep in mind,  
these files are not created until MRTG has been run successfully. If  
they don't exist, and you have run MRTG, it would make sense to look  
at the /var/log/mrtg.log file to see if maybe MRTG isn't running  
properly, or is generating some error. I would HIGHLY recommend that  
you read through http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-unix- 
guide.en.html , and perhaps some of the other associated MRTG  
documentation to get a better understanding of how MRTG works and how  
to set it up- this stuff is all explained in there. Also, the MRTG  
mailing lists would be a better place for questions regarding setting  
up and using MRTG. After that, if you still have issues specifically  
with integrating the MRTG data with nagios, this would be an  
appropriate place to ask those questions.
