[mrtg] Re: Bandwidth Math Part 2 - Not Working

If you notice, the "guage" option is missing from the second config file
and I would have expected the graph to display the difference.  The
problem is the log file doesn't fill up with values except on the first
line with the current value from the csv file.

I have not had problems with graphing small numbers in the past either
without using the per min or per hour option.  

(I omitted the legend part of the config file.)

Jim,

To get the rate in stead of the totals you have to leave out 'gauge'
from the options line.
If the numbers you want to graph are rather low you can add 'perminute'
or 'perhour' at the options line.
To be more specific about low: By default you get the rate per second.
Considering that MRTG polls only 1 time per 5 minutes so the value
retrieved from the target line will be divided by 300. This means the
smallest step shown in the graph is 300 (per second).
By using the perminute option the value retrieved from the targetline
are divided by 5, which results in steps of 5 (per minute)
If you also want to graph the values in smaller steps than 5 you need
the perhour option. 

Note that you have to add some lines to change the legend too (LegendI,
LegendO, Legend1, etc.).

Hth,

Jan.

A little more explanation...

I am using Paul Simmonson's method to collect MRTG data using
performance monitor on a Windows 2000 Exchange Server.
(http://www.wn.com.au/psimmo/) 

I am collecting data on Symantec Antivirus for Exchange on
content/property/spam/virus violations.

Here is the data from the cvs file on content violations...

1050001500 0 6724 0 12850

I then grab the same data in the cvs file and don't use the "gauge"
option and expected to get the amount of content violations in the
previous 5 minutes.  I use this cfg file...

Title[EXCHANGE2000-24]:\\EXCHANGE2000\SAVFMSE 3.0(SAVFMSE)\Content
Violations Found per previous 5 min period
Pagetop[EXCHANGE2000-24]: <H2>EXCHANGE2000 - Content Violations Found
per previous 5 min period</H2>
MaxBytes[EXCHANGE2000-24]: 100
Options[EXCHANGE2000-24]: nopercent, nobanner
Target[EXCHANGE2000-24]: `perl getlog.pl d:\perflogs\EXCHANGE2000.csv
"\\EXCHANGE2000\SAVFMSE 3.0(SAVFMSE)\Content Violations Found"`
YLegend[EXCHANGE2000-24]: Legend

That log file looks like this...

1050033570 0 12917
1050033570 0 0 0 0

It is all zeros all the way through.  Only the first line updates...

So what am I doing wrong or what could I change?
