[mrtg] Re: 95th% line on the graph how??? as in http://west-boot .mfnx.net/traffic/chi/chi-sjc.html

[Ritch McGreevy]

Maybe I'm dense, but when I run the mrtg_archive it creates the directories
as it's supposed to but it never copies the log over to the archive
directory.  I've put it in my cron to update every 5 minutes as mrtg does,
but the "archive" directories are empty.  When I run mrtg95 based on the
original location of the log files it gives me proper values.  when ran on
the "archives" as expected it gives 0 for all results.  

I've included a copy of my achive_mrtg file 

-----mrtg_archive-------

#!/usr/bin/perl
#mrtg_archive

# Configurations
$mrtg_dir = "/home/mrtg/public_html/";
$archive_dir = "/home/mrtg/archive";
$conf = "/home/mrtg/mrtg_archive.conf";

# Read a config file if present.
if (-e $conf) {
    open(CONF,"$conf");
    while(<CONF>) {
        chomp;
        push(@elements,$_);
    }
}

# Take arguments from the command line if present.
@elements = @ARGV if (@ARGV);

# Fail if no arguments.
die "Need a list of parameters to monitor!\n" unless (@elements);

# Process each of the elements
for ($a=0; $a<=$#elements; $a++) {
    $count = undef;
    ($path,$comment) = split(/:/,$elements[$a]);
    (@path) = split(/\//,$path);
    unless (-d "$archive_dir/$path[0]") {
        system("mkdir $archive_dir/$path[0]");
    }

    unless (-f "$archive_dir/$path") {
        system("touch $archive_dir/$path");
    }

    open(LOG,"$mrtg_dir/$path");
    open(COPY,">>$archive_dir/$path");
    while (<LOG>) {
        if ($count >= 3) {
            print COPY;
        }
        if ($count >= 598) {
            last;
        }
        $count++;
    }
}

Any suggestions?

no I'm still using the old log file format.  The mrtg_archive.conf file
use the format:

logfilename.log:95th Percentile - Label

then the mrtg95.pl script goes through and parses the logfile and makes a
text file showing the 95 percentile numbers for each month.

There might be something better out there but I got this one working
relatively easily so I just stuck with it.
