[mrtg] Re: Data file not retaining data except for 1st line...

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

Two items jump out:

Maxbytes setting

or 

The data is not a counter, but maybe a gauge?  Remember that you need to have at least 300 "units" per 5 minute poll to have a least one unit show up on the graph.

Hi all, I am having a problem collecting the number of processes running.
This is a snipt of what I was running on a RaQ4, it was working just fine there, but now its on a generic linux box and no longer works.

my processes.sh file looks something like
=================================
INDATA=`cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f4 | cut -d '/' -f 2`
OUTDATA=`cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d ' ' -f4 | cut -d '/' -f 1`
echo $INDATA
echo $OUTDATA
echo `uptime | cut -d"," -f1,2`
echo processes
=================================

the output from the processes.sh script is
=================================
137
4
1:52pm up 24 days, 11:47
processes
=================================

The processes.log looks like
=================================
1031690522 148 3
1031690522 0 0 0 0
1031690403 0 0 0 0
1031690400 0 0 0 0
=================================
It seems that the 1st line does indeed reflect the current poll, but the 
following lines don't.

and my mrtg.cfg looks like
=================================
Target[processes]: `/etc/mrtg/processes.sh`
Title[processes]: Processes
PageTop[processes]: <h3>Processes</h3>
YLegend[processes]: Processes
ShortLegend[processes]: ***
LegendI[processes]: Total*
LegendO[processes]: Running*
=================================

I have attempted to be 100% self sufficient in locating the bug(s) and I 
have even been in an RTFM loop for several days off and on).
I am sure its something stupid I am overlooking but any input would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

-Thomas
