[mrtg] Re: SAR and MRTG

[Chris Josephes]

There's a file in the MRTG distibution "doc/logfile-format.txt" that
discusses the format of the .log file.

Programs that pass data to MRTG should output 4 lines of data.

1. integer (typically incoming bytes)
2. integer (typically outgoing bytes)
3. string (target uptime)
4. string (target name)

The integers are put in the logfile.  The strings are put in the .html
page.

I'm not aware of specific programs that take data from SAR, but check the
contrib directory.
