[mrtg] Re: No webupdate monitoring W2K server with perfmon counte r

[William Owen]

I'm confused...
You say you are using RRD to log your information (inferring you have
'LogFormat: rrdtool' in your config).  If this is the case, Rateup should
not be running and no graphs should be generated.  If you user RRDTool as
your backend, you have to use a 3rd party frontend to generate/display your
png files.

I guess the real question is, are you using the built in .log files or .rrd
(rrdtool)?

Posting part of your config file should clear it up if you are not sure.

Subject: [mrtg] No webupdate monitoring W2K server with perfmon counter

Hello,
I'm using MRTG to monitor network traffic without any problem.
Now I'd like to use it monitor Windows 2000 Servers using performance
counter log files.
I have followed the instructions at http://www.castellan.net/mrtg.html,
using getlog.pl to extract data of a "memory available" counter.
getlog.pl is working fine, the MRTG .log file (round robin database) is well
populated with appropriate values BUT I get the following error :

ERROR: Skipping webupdates because rateup did not return anything sensible.

And no png file is generated.

Below is the begining of the RRD file (LM2M-1.log) :
1102509542 0 1236
1102509542 0 1236 0 1236
1102509241 0 0 0 0
1102509000 0 991 0 1229
1102508700 0 1195 0 1229
1102508400 0 1205 0 1210
1102508100 0 1207 0 1210
1102507800 0 1214 0 1216
1102507500 0 1227 0 1230
1102507200 0 1225 0 1230
1102506900 0 1161 0 1224
1102506600 0 1062 0 1148
...
And here is the config file form MRTG :
    
Workdir: d:\mrtgdata
Title[LM2M-1]:TEST
Pagetop[LM2M-1]: <H1>TEST</H1>
MaxBytes[LM2M-1]: 4096
Options[LM2M-1]: gauge, nopercent,growright
Target[LM2M-1]: `perl C:\syschu\mrtg-2.9.29\bin\getlog.pl
\\lm2m\perflogs\MRTG_LM2M.csv "\\LM2M\Mémoire\Méga-octets disponibles"`
YLegend[LM2M-1]: " "
ShortLegend[LM2M-1]:
LegendO[LM2M-1]:
LegendI[LM2M-1]:
Legend2[LM2M-1]:
Legend1[LM2M-1]:

I can't figure out why no graph file is generated since values are OK in RDD
?
Did I miss something ? Any help would be appreciated - Thanx

Remi.
