MRTG Developers: While using cfgmaker to build a configuration for some Foundry ServerIron load balancers, I found that Foundry seems to set the speed to 0 for interfaces which are down. Normally this isn't a problem since the downed interfaces would be skipped. However, I was using --no-down to include all interfaces so if/when something is connected it gets monitored.
After kluging my way around the problem, I decided that it wouldn't be all that hard to provide a fix for cfgmaker that wouldn't break any previous function. To that end I've come up with the "--zero-speed=<speed>" patch, which is attached. This patch does two things: 1) Adds the above --zero-speed option 2) Adds an additional debug target "snpd" to show details of the SNMP values received The --zero-speed option simply sets all interfaces that return a speed of zero to the speed provided (e.g. 100000000). It does this before any of the existing cfgmaker logic to avoid zero-speed interfaces on various platforms. The snpd debug target was added simply to help diagnose the values that were being returned for ifSpeed. It's not enabled by default so its existence shouldn't cause any problems. Would you take a look and see if you think this would be useful to include this patch in the main MRTG distribution?
