[mrtg] Re: how to change my cfg file

[Sawyer, David]

The reason your graphs are showing zero is because there are less than 300
discards/errors being generated per poll.

Only use the 'BITS' option when measuring traffic.

So, remove bits from the options[_] and add 'GAUGE' to get ever increasing
growing values.


But I don't like that way, I measure errors on a serial interface and I
multiply the target by the polling interval (300 seconds) to plot the amount
of errors generated within each 5 minute poll.
i.e.
Target[device]: OID1&OID2:public at host  *  300
Options[device]: growright, withzeros, nopercent, integer


If you want to measure the LOAD on an interface, you will need the 'GAUGE'
set in the options for that target.

Good Morning to all the Members of this list,

Basically, I am stuck in a problem and I need your desperate 
help.
I am trying to monitor traffic load on my router as well as the 
error rate and discard rate.
I have my cfg file as follows:::

But my log files for errors and discards are not growing with 
time.Its showing all zeros.

Please help me in this so that I can see the proper graphs.

Timely help will be highly obliged.

Thanks & Regards
Himanshu Madan
