We r measuring Eb/No of my Satellite IRD.

Here i m getting the graph always indicating Current value 0.00dB. The Eb/No
values ranges from 0-to-10dB, but the graph's Y-scale has 4 lines showing
values 26,52,78,104. I'd like to change it to 10 lines showing
1,2,3,4.....10. The mrtg.cfg looks like below:

What are you using to collect the data?  What does your RRD look like?

Sir,
  1.. I could set the Interval value to 1, however I got error while setting
the Refresh value below 300 seconds saying "the min value is 300", even
though i m using rrdtool.
  2.. As per doc, the XScale, YScale, YTics & YTicsFactor functions r not
working. I m measuring a value ranging between 1 to 100, but would like to
have Y-Scale to show 10 lines as 1,2,3,4.....10 instead default 4 lines
26,52,78,104.
Pl suggest.

rgds,

Vipul.

>From TFM:

Interval
How often do you call mrtg? The default is 5 minutes. If you call it
less often, you should specify it here. This does two things:

  a.. The generated HTML page contains the right information about the
calling interval ...

  b.. A META header in the generated HTML page will instruct caches
about the time-to-live of this page .....

In this example, we tell mrtg that we will be calling it every 10
minutes. If you are calling mrtg every 5 minutes, you can leave this
line commented out.

Example:

 Interval: 10Note that unless you are using rrdtool you can not set
Interval to less than 5 minutes. If you are using rrdtool you can set
interval down to 1 minute. Note though, setting the Interval for an
rrdtool/mrtg setup will influence the initial creation of the database.
If you change the interval later, all existing databases will remain at
the resolution they were initially created with.

Hi,

I am already using RRDTool. My basic requiremet is that Mrtg should
query
managed device at every minute instead of 5 minutes.

1.  Use RRDTool

MRTG does 5 minutes at it's lowest resolution. RTFM.

Hello,
I want to change the default refresh time of mrtg graph from 5 minutes
to 1
minute.

I also want to modify values of X & Y scale.

How can I do this?

Can anybody help me in this regard?

Thanks,

Vipul.
