[mrtg] Re: MRTG_INT_IP and MRTG_INT_DESCR ?

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Hi Markus,

These env variables are usefull when working with thresholds. 
See ThreshProgO[...], ThreshProgI[...], ThresMaxO[...] etc.
As long as you don't use any threshold checking it doesn't do any harm to
delete this "SetEnv[...]" line. On the other hand, if you think you might
want to do some threshold checking in the future it is easier to leave them
in the configuration file.

Jan.

    Hi,

    I hope this doesn't sound completely dumb. I've seen quite
    some mrtg configurations and often see configuration
    directives like this:

    SetEnv[localhost_2]: MRTG_INT_IP="<ip-address>"
MRTG_INT_DESCR="<interface-name>"

    It's automatically generated with cfgmaker for example, but
    I've no clue where the env variables MRTG_INT_IP /
    MRTG_INT_DESCR are used and what particular role they're
    playing. I've searched throgh the sources but couldn't find
    any explanation about it.

    I get the feeling this is only an example for third party
    applications ... ?

    thanks for clearing this up :-)

    - Markus
