[mrtg] Re: messing with the mrtg logs (passing false data)

[grinnell at american.edu]

I had a situation like that a few months ago, where it turned out that the
machine we were running mrtg on was set to UTC instead of EST5EDT,  I
solved the problem by writing a perl script that opened the logfile, then
added 5 hours of timeticks to the timestamp of every entry, then wrote out
the log again.  That worked like a charm, but I no longer have the script.

Hope that helps,

I would like to modify the mrtg logs to account for data that were
not monitored since mrtg could not run for a couple of days.
How would I approach this?
