[mrtg] Re: graphing 2 links on the same mrtg graph. - question - followup

[Donald Mahler]

Thanks for the help so far.

I have tried using the following statement:

Target[traffic-balance]:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5:public at router1 +
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5:public at router2

but this does not seem to work.   my intent is to show the inoctets for
link 3 on router1 , and then another line with  inoctets for link 3 on
router2.   1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5 does return 0.

the result.   the graph shows traffic from  one router, but not from the
other .

can this really be done?   can someone share a mrtg target statement that
works.   inoctets.3/router1 and  inoctets.3/router2


much thanks

"3:public at router1" is shorthand for
"1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.3:public at router1"
You get both input (...1.10.3) and output (...1.16.3) doing so.

If you want to use MRTG to compare the two, you could for instance do:
" 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.x:public at router1 +
  1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.x&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.3:public at router2 "
where x is an interface that is known to return always 0. Most
of the times it isn't hard to find such an interface.

If you do this, you are displaying the sum of
     "input from router1" and 0     as input graph
and
     0 and "input from router2"     as output graph

If you really cannot find an interface that returns zero, you can
always revert to the external program interface.  Write a script
that gathers the information you want, and call it from MRTG. See
the documentation and/or the FAQ.

cheers,
