[mrtg] Re: Total number per 5 minute average

[Dowling, Steve]

Neil,  

If you want to plot the number of faxes sent+received per interval, try
letting mrtg do its thing but then multiplying the result by 300 (the
number of seconds in the polling interval).  Maybe something like:

Target[total_faxes]: `/path/to/yourscript` * 300

You want a gauge, i.e.,

Options[target]: gauge

Subject: [mrtg] Total number per 5 minute average

Hi, I am trying to do something slightly different with MRTG.
 

Basically I have a script which gives the total faxes in and total faxes
out as a number which is always incrementing, so if you check the number
at 10pm it will say 2000 faxes, then the number at 5 mins past 10 it
will say 2010 faxes have been sent in total.  What I would like is to
take the total number and plot the difference at 5 minute intervals,
therefore showing at every 5 minutes how many faxes were sent.

 

Basically something like this :-

 

To start, at 10:00 there have been a total of 2000 faxes sent.

At 10:05 there have been a total of 2010 faxes sent, plot 10 (2010 -
2000) on the graph at 5 mins.

At 10:10 there have been a total of 2015 faxes sent, plot 5(2015 - 2010)
on the graph at 10 mins.

 

 

I know the normal procedure is to find the difference between values but
then the number is divided by the time elapsed, I don't want this
division to happen.
