[mrtg] MRTG and Threshold Parameters on NT...

[Kirk Rogers]

Hi folks,
I'm still have yet to get the MRTG Threshold parameter to work on NT.  Has
anyone been able to get this to work with calling a perl program from the
ThreshProgO or ThreshProgI?  I was able to change the target to a .bat file
without quotes and it works fine:

ThreshProgO[someTarget]: c:\perl\bin\perl c:\perl\progs\testProg.pl

But when I change it to run a perl program:

ThreshProgO[someTarget]: c:\perl\bin\perl c:\perl\progs\testProg.pl

It comes back with "CFG Error in "threshprogo[currauth.isdnhub2]", line 21:
Threshold program `c:\perl\bin\perl c:\perl\progs\testProg.pl` cannot be
executed"

Changing to backticks doesn't work and I've tried several other combinations
of directories, moving the target file to the run directory, etc.

Any clues???

Yesterday you sent me mail regarding MRTG and Thresh Parameters on NT...:

*> Tobias,
*> I hope this isn't too much of a bother, but I've run into a problem with
the
*> new Thresh parameters and launching a program with 'ThreshProgO'.  I can
*> substitute the line:
*>
*> ThreshProgO[currauth.isdnhub2]: `c:\perl\bin\perl
*> c:\perl\progs\test_sendmail.pl`
*>
*> With
*>
*> ThreshProgO[currauth.isdnhub2]: c:\perl\progs\test.bat
*>
*> And the batch file works.  What is wrong with the perl specific calls?  I
*> tried every combination possible, changing the directory, backticks vs
*> quotes vs no quotes, etc.  I have a similar perl program running which is
*> called from the 'Target' parameter and it works fine:
*>
*> Target[ping1]: `perl c:\perl\progs\mrtg-ping-probe 129.4.247.253`
*>
*> So I know the backticks and syntax are correct for 'Target'.
*> Any clues with Thresh?

not realy without looking at the code ... (this feature was not implemented
by me) ... I sugest you ask on the mailinglist ...


cheers
