[mrtg] polling 'timeticks' variables

[Jeff Murphy]

i'm using mrtg 2.5.3 to poll a timeticks mib variable on a UPS. oddly, mrtg 
seems to convert it from timeticks to integer hours and stores/graphs that
value. am i misconfiguring something?

the top of rtob.log reads:

935603101 4 4
935603101 4 4 4 4
935602802 5 5 5 5
935602800 4 4 5 5
	...

but an snmpget of the variable returns:

snmpget rnups4 COMMUNITY .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0
enterprises.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 = Timeticks: (1704000) 4:44:00.00

so it seems that mrtg is storing the "4" (hour value) instead of giving
me the 1704000 raw value to work with (i'd like to divide and have mrtg
plot minutes instead of hours).

any suggestions are welcome. i checked the mailing list archives and FAQ,
but didnt see anything relevant.

thanks,

jeff
