[mrtg] Monitoring Web Site Value with MRTG

[Rab]

Hello

I am an @Home cable user in Australia where we are have a usage limit
whereby our download limit is set to 10X the 'average user'.  For example,
if the 'average' user is downloading 60MB per day, you can in theory
download 10X that (600MB) per day - calculated and averaged over 14 days.

The daily value is posted to a web site - which is what I am hoping to graph
with MRTG.  I know there were some examples some time ago with users
monitoring values on a web site however I can't find these now.

If anyone has any scripts on how to do this I would appreciate your
assistance.  Below is an extract of my .cfg file - I have no idea what to do
with the Target :(

A screen capture of the value I'm trying to monitor can be found via the
URLs below.

" Reading, after a certain age, diverts
  the mind too much from its creative
  pursuits. Any man who read too much and
  uses his own brain too little falls into
  lazy habits of thinking."
