[mrtg] Re: Aggregating ports via mrtg

[Kevin Hammond]

Now that you mention that, I found that part of the documentation in the
reference doc.  BTW, I did read the doc quite a few times before I posted
the question.  Personally, the documentation is not the best I have seen.
It would be nice to see the Per Target syntax in use in a cfgmaker line.

I am still new to mrtg, so I could easily use the mathmatic operations to
aggregate the reports.  I assume I could use some threshold setting or
something to that effect to set a backplane value, otherwise I would have to
pull the max bytes per interface and aggregate that as well.

Am I at least going in the right direction?

Thank You,
Kevin

This is straight from the documentation, perhaps it pays to read it first.


You can also use several statements in a mathematical expression. This could
be used to aggregate both B channels in an
     ISDN connection or multiple T1s that are aggregated into a single
channel for greater bandwidth. Note the whitespace
     arround the target definitions.

     Example:

      Target[ezwf]: 2:public at wellfleetA + 1:public at wellfleetA  *
4:public at ciscoF

Is there any way to aggregate multiple ports on a switch via mrtg to get an
overall bandwidth analysis for an entire switch?  For instance, If I had a
24 p0rt 10/100 switch, could I pull all interfaces, and add them together,
then add the total bandwidth for each interface and graph that #?  Going
futher with this thought, say a device had a max speed backplane, could you
graph that # as a percentage against the backplane?

Thank You,
Kevin Hammond
