[mrtg] Re: GD/Per graph recipe?

[Anson Rinesmith]

If you want MRTG to graph your data for you, just look at the docs. Instead
of feeding Target[] an OID, you can have it execute an external script (that
you have to write) and feed it any max/min combonation you want.

Example, I just wrote a script that executes a script that does an SQL query
to a database to find out how many accounting records are currently open. I
do one for each ISP realm I have. I can then provide graphs to each ISP to
show them their modem usage. In my example, MIN and MAX are the same number.
No need to use GD and Perl. I wanted my graphs to look and feel like all my
other MRTG graphs, and the best way, is to just use MRTG. I find out more
about this great tool, everyday.

My script outputs 
NUMBER
NUMBER
DEVICENAME
UPTIME

Subject: [mrtg] GD/Per graph recipe?

Hello,

Forgive me if this is a redundant question, I couldn't come up with an 
effective search in the archives...

I was wondering if any had a recipe/example using GD and Perl to create 
same style graphs for data that doesn't fit MRTG/RRDtool pattern? I'm 
sure I can dig around figure it out eventually, but I figured someone 
had to have done this already :).

Thanks,

Jimbus
