[mrtg] Re: Problem with MRTG-2.9.17 for inactive devices

[Mike Koch]

Are you sure that your device is down when returning 1 ? Because, for a
router, a only 1% CPU utilisation when up is very possible. If it's down,
then, in the log file, values should be 0 if you have "unknaszero" option.

Could you post the beginning of your log file ?
Another thing: when launching mrtg, use the --logging=filename.log and see
what is in the .log file. If a device is down and not responding, there will
be a trace in the log file with date/time.

Hi Mike,

I have already used the option "unknaszero", but it seems not to help.

Here is my config:

WorkDir: d:\programme\www\cpu

I am working with WinNT4/SP5.
