[mrtg] Re: Problem using mathematical expressions.

[Chris Mancuska]

I believe you are mistaken - have another look - (there are three OID's in
both of the examples I gave)


Target[1]: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.1
/.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1&.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2:public at hostname:

I am dividing the value of an OID by another OID value for graph 1 and just
showing the value of an OID for graph 2

This works, but


Target[2]: .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.1&.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.2 /
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5.2:public at hostname:

I am showing the value of an OID in graph 1 and dividing the value of an
OID by the value of another OID in graph 2

This does not work - why?

Here you are -->dividing<-- a single OID.

Here you are dividing -->by<-- a single OID.

You MUST use two OIDs. If you don't, it SHOULDn't work at all.  It seems
that it does work however you end up with a zero.  Division by zero.
