<font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">Hey Keith,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">Are you trying to have those 4 Values
on a single graph..?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">If yes, then you could try this.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">You would change your script to
do the same thing as I explained in the last email. Which is having the</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">script accept 4 separate arguments.
One Argument for each of the values you want graphed. So basically,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">the 1st argument would print the
1st value, 2nd ARG would print the 2nd value, and so on...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">Then in your MRTG cfg file you would
have 4 "Regular" sections and 1 User-Defined Section.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Adobe Serif MM">So basically the above config will

Hi.<br>
<br>
That might work. I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around having
a<br>
.cfg file that can parse four values.<br>
<br>
The numbers that are returned are actually cable modem counts on four<br>
seperate downstream channels of a cmts.<br>
<br>
Using expect and some shell, I extract the four values:<br>
<br>
85<br>
102<br>
101<br>
74<br>
<br>
Is what gets returned from running the script. I have no problem doing
a<br>
mrtg cfg file for 2 values and scripting, but 4 and using rrd/routers2
is<br>
a bit harder.<br>
<br>
Thanks, I'll see what I can work out.<br>
<br>
Keith<br>
