[mrtg] Re: Interface Description and white_space?

[Nick Ellson]

I am trying to ferret this out and on line 962 of cfgmaker 2.12.2 I see:

   my $if_description = "$if_snmp_descr $if_snmp_alias $if_cisco_descr";


And if I look at the output of the .cfg file made, the last variable 
$if_cisco_descr has the data I used to see in the output of indexmaker.

Tobi,  Is there a switch to use this data in the interface description for 
Indexmaker? (I suspect it would be more of a switch in cfgmaker so that 
$if_cisco_descr is what is populated in the Descr: field below:

### Interface 19 >> Descr: 'Serial9/2' | Name: 'Se9/2' | Ip: 
'192.168.240.90' | Eth: '' ###
