[mrtg] Problem with Negative Numbers

[Steve Swords]

I multiply the target by -1 to graph RSSI on our Trango gear. Keeps the same
number and makes it positive for graphing....

Subject: [mrtg] Problem with Negative Numbers


Im trying to poll a satellite modem for Rx Signal Level.  The modem returns
a negative integer ten times the level (ex. -575 indicates the level is
-57.5 dBm).  Ive configured a conversion function so I can log the value
returned by snmpget and compare it to the value in the log file.  It appears
that MRTG is not recognizing the number as negative.  It appears it is not
recognizing the binary 1 MSD as a negative sign.

 

=========== 

Config file:

 

ConversionCode: functs.pl

 

Target[my-pub-sat-01-rsl]:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.6247.28.1.3.3.4.0&.1.3.6.1.4.1.6247.28.1.3.3.4.0:myROcs at my-pub-
sat-01.domain.gov|neg_int

 

==========

Functs.pl:

 

sub neg_int {

    my $n = shift;

    open FH, ">> rx_lvl.log";

#    my $o = (2^31 - $n) / 10;

    my $o = $n / 10;

    print FH localtime(time) . " -> IN: $n\tOUT: $o\n";

    close FH;

    return $o;

}
