[mrtg] Retreiving a Threshold from a DB in Host Templates.

[Martin Rheumer]

Gday,

I have an interesting idea from one of our network gurus. They are wondering 
if using host templates I can retrieve a value from our mrtg - mysql database 
and insert it into a cfgmaker polled router config setting the threshold to
a certain value. 
ie.

during the cfgmaker run it finds 

Gi0/3

then using a mysql query ( yes I can program this in perl )

select threshold from mrtg_db where port = 'Gi0/3'

set the 

ThreshMaxI = $mrtg_db{threshold)

if anyone has achieved this or similar and would like to share I would be
much appreciative.

Martin
