[mrtg] Re: Help... log file question....

[Zaid Ali]

It is the Unix time stamp. The Unix timestamp is measured since Epoch
UTC January 1 1970 which basically means that in your example 939163249
is the seconds since January 1 1970... this is how Unix timestamp is. If
I were you it would be easier to convert your log file by importing the
logfile into a SQL server, build a 3 colum table and run a query with
the following calculation :

CAST( 25566.666666 + CAST(timestamp as float)/24.0/3600.0 as
smalldatetime)

This will convert your timestamp.

Hope this helps

Subject: [mrtg] Help... log file question....




For those of you who have answered my questions before, in a smart ass
or nice
manner... thank you.  Although I would prefer the smart asses don't
bother
replying.  Here is a question for anyone who wishes to be helpful
without
patronizing me or degrading my level of intelligence....

In a log file that looks like this:

939163249 28160 53262
939163249 0 0 0 0
939163650 0 0 0 0

Obviously I am not getting data where the zeros are, but can someone
tell me
what the numbers stand for... mostly the first very long number?  Is it
a
numerical representation of the time and date of the poll that took
place?  If
it is, how can someone resolve that information to the date and time or
something at least useful.

Thanks in advance!!
