[mrtg] Re: Email counter from script

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Hi Corstian,

Seeing the numbers 4 and 29 on top of your logfile I think the counters you want to graph are increasing slowly.
By default MRTG calculates the rate per second.
To graph slow growing counters you can add 'perminute' or even 'perhour' to the options line.

Hth,

Jan.

Subject: [mrtg] Email counter from script


Hi all,

I am working on a mrtg graph, which shows the number of GOOD mails vs the number of SPAM mails.

Therefore, I created entries in my .procmailrc which counts all incoming mail, and I created a script which has the following output:

#TOTAL number of SPAM mails
#TOTAL number of GOOD mails
Uptime
Hostname

So far, so good. The counters are working fine, and the script creates the expected output.

I started with the following mrtg config, which runs without any error.

Target[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:     `/home/corstian/bin/mrtg/mail_count
corstian show SPAM GOOD`
Options[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    growright
Title[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:      Corstians Mail
MaxBytes[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:   10000000000
LegendI[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    SPAM
LegendO[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    GOOD
Legend1[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    SPAM mails received
Legend2[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    GOOD mails received
YLegend[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    Mails
ShortLegend[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]: Mails
PageTop[corstian.GOOD.SPAM]:    <H1>Corstians Mail </H1>

The top of the logfile looks as follows:
root at pinkpanther # head -n 5 corstian.good.spam.log
1113202509 4 29
1113202509 0 0 0 0
1113202211 0 0 0 0
1113202200 0 0 0 0
1113201900 0 0 0 0

After I received some emails, the counter increased, and even the counter in the logfile increased, but I just get zero's on my graphs...`

What do I want to see ??
Every time one of the counters increases, I want to see the difference with the old value in my graph.

The weekly graph shouldn't be the mean value of the daily graph, but the total value!! etc.

I hope somebody can help me!
