If you are using upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining you probably need to convert the data with an external command, unless I'm not up to date with current mrtg. Personally I invoke a perl script like this (watch the wrap)
Target[apc-symmetra.upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining]: `/home/mrtg/run/convtimeticks.pl apchostname password -m ~/Mibs/powernet.mib upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining.0` which in turn runs a ucd-snmp tool like this snmpget -Oq -Ot -m ~/Mibs/powernet.mib apchostname password upsAdvBatteryRunTimeRemaining.0 The key is the -Ot, which means: "Output timeticks values as raw numbers." snmpget would print something like enterprises.apc.products.hardware.ups.upsBattery.upsAdvBattery.upsAdvBattery RunTimeRemaining.0 84000 while convtimeticks.pl would print the 4-line output mrtg expects: 840 0 apc The script is like this: #!/usr/bin/perl #invoke like $0 host <snmpcommand-args> community sysUpTime.0 $host = $ARGV[0] || " "; $command="snmpget -Oq -Ot ".join " ",@ARGV; $in=`$command`; $_=((split /\s+/,$in)[1] or 0); $_ /= 100; print int($_),"\n","0\n"," \n","$host\n",; Bye Heiko -- -- PREVINET S.p.A.
