[mrtg] Re: Problems interpreting decimal "gauge" info (systemload)

[Paul C. Williamson]

As an aside, what is an "acceptable" load on a linux box?  
I know that what hardware I have influences that number...
I am taking my load and multiplying it by 100, and put my MaxBytes at 400. I
 've never come close to it, but if I'm running my box at a constant load of 
1.1 or so, is that ok?

Hi,

I have a problem getting the data for my system load, gathered from the
local ucd-snmpd (on linux) graphed through mrgt (version 2.9.10 on RH
Linux 7).

What happens is, that the snmp query will respond with a decimal vallue,
but mrtg is not putting it into the statistics log file (only the first
line is updated).

Is it possible to poll decimal values through mrtg??? I did not find
anything about it in the manuals, but found no example also???

Any help appreciated.

Bernard

The first few lines from the "system-load.log" file.

The setup I use to poll this value:
