Wes,

Maybe this will work for you.  I use this as a target perl script to
generate an In + Out graph on our ISDN WAN link.  I looks to me like this
should work fine on any independant interfaces, providing they have the same
type of data (i.e. both are expressing number of octets) and are related
enough to provide relevant data.

Names have been changes to protect the innocent.

Regards,

#!/usr/bin/perl

$in_str = `/usr/bin/snmpget router.mydomain.ca public
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.4`;
$out_str = `/usr/bin/snmpget router.mydomain.ca public
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.4`;
# now $in_str looks like:
# interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.4 = 2168355677

# let's keep only the value of the query
$in_bytes = (split(/\=/,$in_str))[1];
$out_bytes = (split(/\=/,$out_str))[1];
# now $val looks like " 2168355677";

$val = $in_bytes + $out_bytes;

# now return $val along with 3 other zero lines so MRTG is happy.
print "$val\n";
print "0\n";
print "0\n";
print "0\n";
