[mrtg] External monitoring

[Allan Hansen, INBODAN]

Hi All!
 
First of all; I am not a hardcore MRTG user, but I am trying to take MRTG a
step further from just monitoring router i/o.
 
My first step is to log active users om my Citrix Servers. I create a small
text file on one of the Citrix servers, the contents is like this
 
121
1
[Not Available]
Server1, Server2, Server3
 
- where line 1 is active ICA connections, line 2 is active RDP connections,
line 3 is uptime, and line 4 is a list of server names.
 
I copy (FTP) this file to my Linux box running MRTG.
 
In MRTG.cfg I have a target like this
 
Target[citrix.activeusers]: `/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/CitrixUsers.sh`
Title[citrix.activeusers]: Active Citrix Users
PageTop[citrix.activeusers]: <H1> Active Citrix Users</H1>  <TABLE>
   <TR><TD>System:</TD><TD>Citrix Servers</TR> </TABLE>
Maxbytes[citrix.activeusers]: 180
WithPeak[citrix.activeusers]: ymw
Options[citrix.activeusers]: gauge, nopercent, integer
ShortLegend[citrix.activeusers]: users
YLegend[citrix.activeusers]: Active Users
Legend1[citrix.activeusers]: Active ICA users
Legend2[citrix.activeusers]: Active RDP users
LegendI[citrix.activeusers]: users (ica)
LegendO[citrix.activeusers]: users (rdp)

The CitrixUsers.sh script contains this 
 
    cat /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/citrix.txt
 
When I run CitrixUsers.sh from the command line, it seems OK (produces the 4
lines of output), but when running via MRTG, it logs/graphs nothing.
 
Hope anyone can give me a hint.
