[mrtg] Re: Log file not updating

[Krawczyk, Jeff]

Thank You. This worked! However I have added 5 more "targets" to my config
file and the funny thing is some of these log files update and some
don't???? I'lll look more into this tomorror.

Thanks again!!
Jeff

It looks like you are monitoring the total number of seconds.
This is a COUNTER so you should definately drop the GAUGE option.

There is another problem.
You are monitoring something that won't update more than once a
second. Therefore, when dividing it by the number of seconds, you
will always get a number below one. MRTG will round this down to
zero.

Problem number three: You've defined maxbytes. How can you be sure it
won't go over 100 ?


So:
Drop the gauge and maxbytes.
Start using per minute or perhour, or multiply by 300.
