[mrtg] Re: 2 hourly collections not collecting

[Matthew Moore (DSL AK)]

It may not be a problem, but I'm also polling several other mib variables
every 5 minutes on about 120 routers, and I'd like to keep resource usage to
a minimum. The reason I chose a 2 hour poll period is because I plan on
suppressing the daily and weekly free mem graphs, and the monthly graphs
display 2 hour averages.

I've currently set the poll interval to 30 minutes, and it is working fine.
(I'd still rather be using a 2 hour interval though)

Regards,
 Matt Moore

The poll for memory is quick and barely any net traffic, is it really a
problem if you don't poll every 5 minutes?

I have changed the target name, but the cfg file is fine, because if I just
change the Interval to 5 minutes (in the original cfg), then the logs and
graphs are generated fine (I just don't want to poll this often).

It appears "gauge" is not working. Is this the real cfg, or has you
changed the name of the router for security reasons?
If so, are you sure you haven't missspelled the target name?
