Cool off Luis.  No reason for name calling.  George gave you exactly what you wanted.  And there was no ill-feeling about giving you the info.  RTFM is a standard reply here, if you haven't already figured that out.  There are so many posts about "Hey, I just downloaded this cool program - what can I do with it?" type of questions that it's amazing this list doesn't go to a moderated format.  As far as I know, there are plenty of areas where Options[target]: gauge is documented.  So is Options[target]: absolute.  George copied directly from a page of Tobi's site and put it in the message for you to read.  All the information I know of can pretty much be obtained from that same area.  If you know Perl (which I don't really), you can look at the script 'mrtg' and figure out a whole lot more.  

So - What problem are you still having?

You're a jerk and I rtfm and found nothing useful (at least every  manual I
could find)

If you can't kindly help people don't help them!
at the very least, you could've led me to something I coud've read.  I don't
want people to hand feed me, just lead me in the right direction

Luis

rtfm
gauge
Treat the values gathered from target as absolute and not as ever
incrementing counters. This would be useful to monitor things like
disk space, processor load, temperature, and the like ...

In the absence of 'gauge' and 'absolute' options, MRTG treats
variable as a counter and calculates the difference between the
current and the previous value and divides that by the elapsed time
between the last two readings to get the value to be plotted.

Thanks for responding earlier last week, but I needed to accomplish
other
tasks before I could get back to you.

what do you mean by Options[xxx] : gauge command

I have reinstalled it and it worked fine (so I thought) for 5
minutes.
It's still running but the utilization hasn't increased or decreased
in 23
hours.  I read the FAQ about this problem, but it's not intermittent,
it
consistent so something must be wrong

Also do you have any idea what 'rateup' is?  Should I install that
too.

Thanks for your help

Luis

Make sure to use the Options[xxx]: gauge command.  Let me know if
your
result come out as expected.  I too ran into issues early on.  My
current
connections values appear a little lower than expected.

Thanks,

Robert L. Williams

Hello Everyone:

I want to thank you for your help this time and ask for forgiveness,
I keep
bothering you.

I have been running (so I think) MRTG now for 1 1/2 hours.
everytime I go to view the graphs I get a bunch of graphs that tell
me
nothing.  (Attached in word format is a copy of the graphs)(check the
bottom)

I am running, through Task Scheduler, mrtgkick.bat and 3at.bat.
I followed the directions with the exception for one thing.

It said to install Peer Web services, but I was already running IIS
on the
machine.

Any ideas

thanks in advance

Luis
