[mrtg] Re: No diffs being caculated.

Try turning it into number of events per hour.

There are 'new' options  that allow you to say per hour as opposed to per second
-  check out the web page on the config options.

Another way to do it is to multiply the values by 3600.  This would give you a
value of per hour as well since you would divide by the interval.

SO - Even though you are getting the information every 5 minutes, you would be
showing what that would be in a per hour mode.

You might also try just multipling the value by 1000 or 10,000.  Then say that
you are scaled by 1000 or 10,000.  That might be easier to explain to others
than multiple samples every 5 minutes that report the number of events per hour.

Subject:  [mrtg] No diffs being caculated.





Hi all..

I have some scripts set up to monitor mail traffic on a remote machine
(messages in and out - working fine), and when mrtg gets the information, it
dosent caculate out the deltas for the log file, I get something that looks
like this:

964909794 43231 41733
964909794 0 0 0 0
964909727 0 0 0 0
964909500 0 0 0 0

When I run with the gauge option, it works (broken, but works) with graphs
continously growing. My guess (from the top of a log of a switch port:)

964909922 3796266963 3159554026
964909922 52482 24580 52482 24580
964909623 43273 20338 43273 20338
964909500 45925 19952 49795 20338

is that since the deltas are so small (less than a hundred in 5 minutes),
mrtg is counting them as 0. The config file for this target is as follows:

WorkDir: /var/csuite/info/mrtg/
WriteExpires: Yes
PageTop[^]:<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"
PageTop[^]: <H1> Halifax Mail Traffic</H1>
YLegend[^]: in / out

Legend1[^]: In
Legend2[^]: Out
Legend3[^]: Messages in (5 Minute Average)
Legend4[^]: Messages Out (5 Minute Average)
LegendI[^]: &nbsp;msg:

Title[halifax.mail]: 'halifax' mail traffic
MaxBytes1[halifax.mail]: 100000
MaxBytes2[halifax.mail]: 100000


Anyone have any ideas of the problem?

/. in all its glory:
Since CPUs are getting faster at an exponential rate, the best way
to run an exponential time algorithm is to wait a linear amount of
time and then buy the exponentially faster processor to run it on.
