[mrtg] Re: MRTG SNMPv2c configuration...

[Nathan Lax]

Hello all,

Thanks, Rainer,  for your prompt reply. I've tried what you suggested, and 
was pleased to learn that MRTG supports the 64 bit counters. However, I'm 
still having a couple of problems:

Here is the my configuration:

#----- begin config ----#

Workdir: (some dir)

Target[10.1.7.120.18]: 18:public at 10.1.7.120:::::2
MaxBytes[10.1.7.120.18]: 2100000000
Title[10.1.7.120.18]: FRSW-1 (No hostname defined for IP address): POS5/0

#----- end config ----#

When I run mrtg with this config, I get the following error:

ott-devtest3:19> mrtg dpawsey.cfg
backoff (:2) must be a number >= 1.0 at SNMP_Session.pm line 117.
ott-devtest3:20>

Can you help? Is there a newer version of mrtg that I need to install? (I 
am running 2.8.12) Also, what should I set the maxbytes parameter to? When 
I try to set maxbytes to a number that can handle 64 bit counters, I get an 
error message, saying 'Maxbytes must be smaller than maxint', which is a 32 
bit number.

Thanks very much for your help,
Nathan
