[mrtg] Re: target syntax problems.

You can run the script directly from the target eg target[thing]:
`/usr/mrtg/myscript.scr`

The script must return 4 values each on their own line.  The first two
must be whole integer data while the other two must be text (hostname
and uptime to be exact but mrtg doesn't really care as long as it is
text. Eg

56
235453
Thing
Some More text

Subject: [mrtg] target syntax problems.


i have a perl script that is collecting all my data (via telnet/ssh) and

sticking it into 2 hashs.

I would like to use one has for input and the other for output. The
problem is i don't understand what the correct format is for target
without using back quotes.

If i only use 1 var it works fine (well if fine means i only track half
of what i want). example
target[thing]: 56

what i've tried is 
target[thing]: 56 235453
and 
target[thing]: 56&235453
and a few others i can't think of.

This is a sample of the .cfg 

Directory[thing]: thing
YLegend[thing]: Connections/sec
LegendI[thing]:  Connections:
LegendO[thing]:  Bytes TCP
ShortLegend[thing]: Conns/sec
WithPeak[thing]: ywmd
MaxBytes[thing]: 300000000
Options[thing]: growright, gauge, nopercent
Title[thing]: <H1> Connections for thing </H1>
Target[thing]: 1
PageTop[thing]: <H1> thing Connections </H1>
