[mrtg] Re: Getting IP address

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Christian,

If you get a string (text) value from your oid you can not use this
value in your MRTG config to draw a graph. If you want to graph the
value then you have to use an external program that converts the text to
an integer value.

You can specify a port in a number of ways: By ID, by name, by type, by
description, by IP-number or by ethernet adress. Look in the
reference.html for details how to address them in your config file.

Yes, I have been looking the cfgmaker documentation and I know the
possibility of get the IP address by cfgmaker, but my two questions
refer to the operation with manual configuration with target's OIDs. For
example, I want to get data from OID X.X.X.X.X.X.X.X, but this data is
not a number but is a text. Another example, the OID Y.Y.Y.Y.Y.Y.Y.Y
contains the duplex mode, but how can I specify the port which I want to
monitor?

thanks,

Christian

Did you have a look in the cfgmaker documentation?

Look for --ifref=  and/or ifdesc=

HTH,
