Hello,<br><br>I've setup MRTG to graph the throuput of some internal software using an external program and it worked well for a few weeks.<br><br>Yesterday we took down all the monitored services for a major database overhaul and since then MRTG records the service's throughput as zero even though the external program continue to show increasing counters of work done.
<br><br><br>For instance running the external program outputs:<br><br>5990344<br>5990344<br>0<br><br>And a few seconds later it will show:<br>
<br>
5990414<br>5990414<br>0<br><br><br>Nothing has changed in the program or the MRTG configuration during that time.<br><br>Here is the relevant part from that counter's config file:<br><br>Target[total]: `total-ti-counter /mnt/monitored/*/total.txt`
<br>MaxBytes[total]: 50<br>Directory[total]: total<br>Title[total]: Total<br><br>MaxBytes is way more than the expected throughput (the throughput based on the numbers above are 7.8 per second) but even setting it to 1000 instead of 50 doesn't help change the situation.
<br><br>What could be wrong?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>--Amos<br><br>
