[mrtg] How to change the default MaxBytes?

[Frederick William Borges Pohl]

Hey all,

 

I need help regarding a problem with the MaxBytes parameter.

 

We are a small cable broadband company and we use MRTG as a service for our subscribers to keep track of their internet usage.

 

Mrtg has been working fine and all graphs created for each cable modem has 1024 set as MaxBytes. This is OK since internet speed we sold went only up to 1 Mbit.

This way, all mrtg created for new subscribers has this parameter in their cfg file ( we name the config files  "modem_ip".cfg in order to keep track of who is using the service)

 

Recently we created new service plans with speeds going up to 10 Mbits. What happened then is that all "old" graphs are not showing the real usage (since it is limited to 1 Mbit).

 

I manually changed the MaxBytes parameter in over 60 .cfg files to adapt to the new speeds, but I´m having trouble with the new graphs that are created because they are being generated with 1 Mbit as MaxBytes.

 

I wanted to know how can I change this default value so all the Mrtg graphs come with the MaxBytes value of 10Mbits.

 

Is it something in the cfgmaker script that needs to be altered?

 

Thanks for the help

Frederick Pohl
