Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg-developers] mrtg 3 ... a mockup...: *> Hello, *> *> I personally like the idea of a Perl module used to build *> the configuration file for a monitorable network device. *> Although, I don't think that it would be a good idea to base *> a leaf(or graph) on an IP address. The chance of an IP *> address changing on an interface is fairly high. The *> question is when will the IP address change? The interface *> name would probably be a better solution, as long as you *> compare the ifIndex.
sure this is just an example ... I have somthing truely generic in mind ... which does not impose undue restrictions nor fix itself to snmp ... *> ############################################################################## *> *> Notice the subroutines are generated with the config file to *> give easy access *> to the data stuctures contained within the config file. Any *> suggestions? your config file looks quite complex to me ... I get the impression that I would not want to write something like it by hand ... doing it through a program as you do should be fine ... *> 1. Every half hour the target files are generated for each *> device. *> 2. Once a day, a script performs an RRD::tune on each RRD *> to adjust the *> rrd-max based on the max(ifSpeed) found in the targets *> file. *> 3. The collector runs every 5 minutes to query devices and *> update the RRDs. *> 4. The grapher only runs when a form is submitted and *> builds a unique filename *> to avoid erroneous caching. i.e.. *> cr01-wash_srp200_998404980.png you are a step further than what I am looking at at the moment ... what you are doing would be an application of mrtg3 or sort of ... make sure you subscribe to the mrtg-developers list so that we can keep in touch about this ... cheers tobi -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker, Timelord & SysMgr @ EE-Dept ETH-Zurich / // _ \/ _ \/ / TEL: +41(0)1-6325286 FAX:...1517 ICQ: 10419518 /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg-developers
