[mrtg] Re: MRTG a Dynamic IP?

[KELLY David (NQ)]

You could use MRTG to pull the data from the device but will need to
store it in RRD format and use another frontend to display the data.
That way you could show the % of total bandwidth that is in use and both
values would scale well on the same graph.

Subject: [mrtg] MRTG a Dynamic IP?


I have a Dynamic aDSL connection at home, and I'm graphing it (just for
my 
own info) on mrtg. It's a Pac Bell 1.5/128 connection. What I think
would 
be an interesting implementation would be a few things (and yes, I know,

mrtg isn't designed for dynamic or aDSL) is: One, update your html file 
with your current IP. That's a minor issue, however the main nice
feature 
would be for the aDSL connection. Right now, since the connection is 
1.5/128, my download bar is WAY at the top, and my upload bar is WAY at
the 
bottom.

So, what I forsee is on the left (Bits Per Second), perhaps
<green>1200.0K 
/ <blue>128.0K, and then the graph obviously, if I had uploaded at 128K
and 
downloaded at 1.5 M, would look essentially like a T-1 with a upload and

download of 1.5 (i.e. both graphs would be peaked at the top).
Obviously, 
this would require the graph not to 'scale', so if for a month, I only 
download at 368k, right now the graph would then peak at 368k, but in
this 
case, it would be 1/5 full (does this make sense??)

One of our engineers here mentioned RRD may do this - however I'm not 
nearly technical enough to even install RRD (I handled MRTG with a bit
of 
help, and it was pretty easy). Is there a precompiled Perl or such for 
Windows XP? Or is this not something RRD will do?

Thanks again. :)

Evan
