[mrtg] CfgMaker: Target Naming Convention?

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

Hey all,

We would like to create entries like this with cfgmaker:

Target[a-1-1]: 1:public at 192.168.1.66:
SetEnv[a-1-1]: MRTG_INT_IP="" MRTG_INT_DESCR="RMON-Port-1-on-Unit-1"
MaxBytes[a-1-1]: 12500000
Title[a-1-1]: Traffic Analysis for 1 -- Summit48
PageTop[a-1-1]: <H1>Traffic Analysis for 1 -- Summit48</H1>

However I don't see an easy option with cfgmaker to specify the "naming 
convention" for the targets.

I suppose I could do this with something complex like the --if-template 
option, but wouldn't it be easier to just have cfgmaker have a 
--target-name="a-1" option?

(I.e. we don't want to expose our graphs (which get mailed) revealing any 
kind of information about our internal network, based on the filename), so 
we would prefer not to use either the DNSNAME *or* the IP (and setting up 
the things locally in /etc/hosts is just a kludge).

Would it cost me anything to get a small patch to cfgmaker that implements 
this functionality?  I could hack it in myself, but I'm sure I'm not the 
only person who could use this feature.
