[mrtg] Graphing input errors...

[Steve Shipway]

You have syntax errors.

In the first example, you need to have spaces around the '*' else there will be an error, and it should be AFTER ALL of the existing definition
Target[genoa.err]: ifInErrors.1&ifOutErrors.1:redrock at genoa:    *     300


In the second, you have a curly bracket to close where it should be a square bracket, hence the syntax error.
ERROR: CFG Error Unknown Option "factor[genoa.err}" on line 41 or above.

Hi Steve,

I hate to be a pain but, I'm getting errors...

When I use '*300' I get:

        ERROR: Target[genoa.err][_IN_] ' $target->[0]{$mode} *300:' (eval): syntax error at (eval 6) line 1, near "300:"

Original target line:
        Target[genoa.err]: ifInErrors.1&ifOutErrors.1:redrock at genoa:

Modified target line:
        Target[genoa.err]: ifInErrors.1&ifOutErrors.1:redrock at genoa*300:



So, I tried Factor[], I added:
        Factor[genoa.err]: 300

and now I get:
        ERROR: CFG Error Unknown Option "factor[genoa.err}" on line 41 or above.

If it matters, I'm running mrtg version 2.10.13

Thanks

>>> 1) Just add the 'noo' option to the Options[] line
>>> 2) Multiply Target by 300 should do it (either use Factor[] or '* 300' in the Target line)
