<p class=MsoNormal>I posted this on the dev list by mistake and got some great
help (Thanks Alex) but now I’m running into a new issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hey all, I’m new to the list and cutting my teeth on
Perl (I’m a Windows/Exchange guy by trade) but seem to be the only person
where I work who has setup MRTG successfully and has it monitoring all the
routers and switches at each client I deal with on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We just installed Exchange 2007 into a multi-site
organization, got everything working exchange wise perfectly and now I’ve
turned my sites to monitoring it. Since I have MRTG already installed and
it’s got that wonderful external scripts option I figured I could write
something simple to parse a file and pass the results to MRTG.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The script works in that data gets passed to MRTG but the
results are anything but what I expected. I’ve attached both the perl
script and the input file to this e-mail.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My mrtg log file looks like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205889837 1200 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205889837 1200 0 1200 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205889485 7096 0 12000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205889300 12000 0 12000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205889000 12000 0 12000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205888700 12000 0 12000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205888400 10073 0 12000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1205888100 1532 0 10000 0<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m more interested in graphing the current # of files
then anything else. The average won’t help anything, nor will the max. The
current number reporting on the hourly page is: 4836.0 Files<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m assuming MRTG does some sort of mathematical process
to the stats, and if I knew what the exact formula was I could compensate for it
in my script.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
