[mrtg] Re: CPU monitoring

[Stieers, Ken]

Taken from the config.html:

if you want to monitor something which does not provide data via snmp you
can use some external program to do the data gathering. 
The external command must return 4 lines of output: 


Line 1 
current state of the first variable, normally 'incoming bytes count' 

Line 2 
current state of the second variable, normally 'outgoing bytes count' 

Line 3 
string (in any human readable format), telling the uptime of the target. 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
