[mrtg] Re: Proposal: "Passive" or "Serverized" MRTG. (Instead ofcollecting it passively waits for data to arrive).

[Paul C. Williamson]

That would be cool.  So mrtg would now have clients that run on Netware, NT, unix, whatever?  And those boxes would collect data from routers and send it on to the "host" mrtg server?

How about this approach:

I guess it would be possible to have an asyncronous mrtg with
a target syntax like this:

ListenPort: port
Target[dddd]: remote.host.com


mrtg would now listen on <port> for incoming data.

data would have to have the format

dddd:<data-age>:<in>:<out>:<router>:<uptime>

mrtg would only accept data coming from remote.host.com.

the data-age is the age in seconds of the data at the time it is
sent to the receiving host. This allows to prevent data jitter.

the mrtg server would use select to look for connections to its
port and work on one request after the other ...
