[mrtg] Re: Gauge option still shows rates ?

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Steve,

The firtst reading in the logfile shows values of 2048. 
In your config you have set "Maxbytes" at 100. MRTG ingores everything
above maxbytes so this is why you have empty graphs...

Subject: [mrtg] Gauge option still shows rates ?



mrtGurus,

I've started monitoring our Windoze server stats using Paul Simmonsons
scripts (good stuff Paul!).  I get the perfmon variables recorded into
the mrtg log file OK, no problem there.

These variables are instantaneous variables, therefore I need to use the
'gauge' option.  But it seems that even though I use 'gauge' mrtg still
wants to calculate a rate.  When I measure a slowly varying quantity,
the last recorded value in the log file is correct, but previous values
(my historical data) has been differenced to zero.

Extract of log file:
1030603792 2048 2048
1030603792 0 0 0 0
1030603491 0 0 0 0
1030603200 0 0 0 0
1030602900 0 0 0 0
1030602600 0 0 0 0
1030602300 0 0 0 0
1030602000 0 0 0 0
1030601700 0 0 0 0
1030601400 0 0 0 0

Extract fron config file:
Target[UWFPX1-1]: `c:\perl\bin\perl c:\mrtg\getlog.pl
\\uwfpx1\perflogs\UWFPX1.csv "\\UWFPX1\Memory\Commit Limit"` / 1048576
Title[UWFPX1-1]: \\UWFPX1\Memory\Commit Limit
PageTop[UWFPX1-1]: <H1>\\UWFPX1\Memory\Commit Limit</H1>
MaxBytes[UWFPX1-1]: 100
Options[UWFPX1-1]: growright, gauge, nopercent, transparent
YLegend[UWFPX1-1]: legend text
ShortLegend[UWFPX1-1]: MegaBytes
Legend1[UWFPX1-1]:
Legend2[UWFPX1-1]:
Legend3[UWFPX1-1]:
Legend4[UWFPX1-1]:
LegendI[UWFPX1-1]: &nbsp;Max:
LegendO[UWFPX1-1]: &nbsp;Min:

Yes, you're right; the Commit Limit is a constant; I still expect to see
that constant logged though, not the succession of zeros I've got.

Any ideas?
