You could use MRTG to pull the data from the device but will need to store it in RRD format and use another frontend to display the data. That way you could show the % of total bandwidth that is in use and both values would scale well on the same graph.

I have a Dynamic aDSL connection at home, and I'm graphing it (just for my own info) on mrtg. It's a Pac Bell 1.5/128 connection. What I think would be an interesting implementation would be a few things (and yes, I know, mrtg isn't designed for dynamic or aDSL) is: One, update your html file with your current IP. That's a minor issue, however the main nice feature would be for the aDSL connection. Right now, since the connection is 1.5/128, my download bar is WAY at the top, and my upload bar is WAY at the bottom. So, what I forsee is on the left (Bits Per Second), perhaps <green>1200.0K / <blue>128.0K, and then the graph obviously, if I had uploaded at 128K and downloaded at 1.5 M, would look essentially like a T-1 with a upload and download of 1.5 (i.e. both graphs would be peaked at the top). Obviously, this would require the graph not to 'scale', so if for a month, I only download at 368k, right now the graph would then peak at 368k, but in this case, it would be 1/5 full (does this make sense??) One of our engineers here mentioned RRD may do this - however I'm not nearly technical enough to even install RRD (I handled MRTG with a bit of help, and it was pretty easy). Is there a precompiled Perl or such for Windows XP? Or is this not something RRD will do? Thanks again. :) Evan -- 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 This e-mail (including any attachments) may contain confidential or privileged information and is intended for the sole use of the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
