[mrtg] arithmetic in mrtg?

[paul beard]

I've been hunting around for some way to take values from mrtg's snmpgets and multiply them by a value (in my case, 4) and nothing I have found seems to work. 

[/usr/local/etc/mrtg]# snmpget -Ov -cpaulbeard.org pink hrStorageUsed.6 
INTEGER: 5658

Target[pink-scratch]:hrStorageUsed.6&hrStorageSize.6:paulbeard.org at pink works fine, but it's not what I want. I would like either to divide one by the other or to multiply both by 4 (for some reason the results are coming back at 1/4 the real size). 

For one thing, if I just try one value, I get an error. 

Target[pink-scratch]:hrStorageSize.6:paulbeard.org at pink
