[mrtg] Re: 14all.cgi, too much grids

[Håkan Lindholm]

Hello again.

Well, I gave it some more time the other day...

Here is a patch for anyone, use it at your own risk.

*** 14all-1.1.cgi       Tue Jul 10 19:46:47 2001
--- 14all.cgi   Sun Sep 23 21:40:22 2001

          } elsif (yesorno($targets{'14all*logarithmic'}{$log})) {
                  push @args, '-o';
          }
!         push
@args,'--alt-y-grid','--lazy','-c','MGRID#ee0000','-c','GRID#000000';
          # now build the graph calculation commands
          # ds0/ds1 hold the normal data sources to graph/gprint
          my ($ds0, $ds1) = ('in', 'out');

          } elsif (yesorno($targets{'14all*logarithmic'}{$log})) {
                  push @args, '-o';
          }
!         push @args,'-c','MGRID#ee0000','-c','GRID#999999';
!         if ($q->param('png') eq 'daily') {
!             push @args,'-x','HOUR:1:DAY:1:HOUR:2:0:%H';
!         } elsif ($q->param('png') eq 'weekly') {
!             push @args,'-x','DAY:1:WEEK:1:DAY:1:86400:%a';
!         } elsif ($q->param('png') eq 'monthly') {
!             push @args,'-x','WEEK:1:MONTH:1:WEEK:1:604800:Week %W';
!         } elsif ($q->param('png') eq 'yearly') {
!             push @args,'-x','MONTH:1:YEAR:1:MONTH:1:2419200:%b';

          my ($ds0, $ds1) = ('in', 'out');



This gives you x axis more like rateup generated graphs, and removes the
'--alt-y-grid' feature which seems no good to me. YMMV.

Please tell me (off list) if you are interested in further hacks on
14all.cgi. I got a few more customizations.
