[mrtg] Re: trying to use external script for graphing

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

John,

By default MRTG shows the rate per second. So if your number increments slowly this will result in somthing smaller than 1, wich is rounded down to 0.
To graph numbers that increment slowly you can add the 'PerMinute' or even the 'PerHour' option at the options line.

Hth,

Jan.

Subject: [mrtg] trying to use external script for graphing


hello list.

im trying to use an external script to do graphing. when i run the
script manually, i get output from the script, but nothing appears on
the graphing.

the output looks something like this:

box-prompt: /bin/sh /home/jbarbieri/scripts/netscreen3.sh
2
27433
box-prompt:


the numbers do not reset to 0 when they are read, and the DO increment,
so using gauge wont help for that.


the number it increments is small, but im not to sure that has anything
to do with it, eg, over a 5 minute period, the top number wont move, but
the bottom might move by 5.





Am i missing something here???


config:
