[mrtg] Re: Uptime for Netware server (correct syntax)

[Daniel R. Kilbourne]

Well, look closer at the error, it tells you all you need.


MRTG has a strict format it looks for:

integer
integer
blah
blah

Now, the key parts are the integer parts.

Anytime you put an OID into a Target statement for mrtg, mrtg strictly 
takes whatever the OID gives it. In some cases, the OID will return an 
integer and all is fine.

In your case, though, you do not get an integer. You get '11 days, 0:47:51'

This is not an integer. You can get what you need a few difeerent ways. 
Using the OID you have, you can write a script to parse it out to deliver 
an integer. Or, if you tell us the OS (including version) you are using, 
someone may have a better OID to use.
