That it the easy part. Once you get a reliable number, MRTG will happily process it for you. Just use GAUGE and make the number available to MRTG (for instance through the external program interface). What is availability? Do you consider a device to have been up for five minutes if you can ping it "now" ? Is your mailserver up just because you can ping it? Is your proxyserver down just because you cannot connect to a part of the Internet? Alex -- Much of what looks like rudeness in hacker circles is not intended to give offence. Rather, it's the product of the direct, cut-through-the-bullshit communications style that is natural to people who are more concerned about solving problems than making others feel warm and fuzzy. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
