[mrtg] Re: Doing math with Multiple SNMP OID Targets

[Purvis, William]

Hi Bear:
	I've tried your suggestion below, and it works and successfully adds
the return values of the OIDs together.  However, my original e-mail and
what I wanted was to do the following:

	Total Disk Space - oid value #1 - oid value #2.

	In the above formula, the total disk space is a constant.  When
using the negative signs in the formula above, it shifts the oid values from
being plotted on the "InBytes", to the "OutBytes", and does not actually
subtract the values.

	Here is the target lines I've tried:

Target[FRC_PAR_01.SYS2]:4096000  -
1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.8.6.0:public at 10.128.1.40  -
1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.8.6.0:public at 10.128.1.40

and

Target[FRC_PAR_01.SYS2]:1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.8.6.0:pub
lic at 10.128.1.40  +
1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.1&1.3.6.1.2.1.8.6.0:public at 10.128.1.40  -
4096000


Because of this, I will probably create a perl script along with using the
"SNMPUTIL.EXE" utility from the NT Resource kit to add these together.  I
will make the script fairly generic, and post the script when I've finished
it.

Yes seems to be summin missing
> Target[FRC_PAR_01.SYS1]:1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.1:public at 10.128.1.40
+
> 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.1:public at 10.128.1.40

should read
1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.1&1.3.another_oid_with_a_null_or_0_value:public
@10.128.1.40  +
1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.5.1&1.3.another_oid_with_a_null_or_0_value:public
@10.128.1.40

try that with an OID of 0 or zero , shouldnt be hard to find one :)
