[mrtg] Re: FW: Problem changing Options[] for a target

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Mike,

Your assumption that by specifying Options[xxx], it will override the default setting is correct.
In my config (w2k, perl 5.8.3, MRTG 2.11.1) this works fine.
What happens when you put the first default option below the xxx.err targets?
Some things that come in mind:
- Is your config called from an other configfile with the include statement?
- Is there any Options[$] or Options[^] in your configfile?

Hth,

Jan.

Subject: [mrtg] FW: Problem changing Options[] for a target


In my config, I set a default option set (at the top of the config):
Options[_]: bits,growright

For some of my targets (port errors), I don't want the bits option.  For those targets where I don't want bits I do the following:

Options[target-name.err]: gauge
Target[target-name.err]: OID, ....

My understanding is that by specifying Options[xxx], it will override the default setting.  I am not finding that to be the case. I have also tried:

Options[_]:
Options[target-name.err]: gauge
Target[target-name.err]: OID, ....
.
.
Options[_]: bits,growright
Target[target-with-bits-set]: OID ...

The configuration runs without errors.  But the values for the xxx.err targets (with the modified Option setting) are still being multiplied by 8.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Mike
