You might want to check the latest version of mrtg, which will only poll a a specific target once no matter how many times it is in a config file.

No? Are there major difficulties to this approach? I can think of possible problems with time stamps that don't match, but there are probably logical work-arounds for even those. I'd like to do this plus something even simpler - generate two sets of pages, one with peaks and one without, from a single polling of a target. How best to go about this? Once again, I would have thought someone had already solved this with a script, perhaps one that reads an existing database, pulls the most recent polling numbers and timestamp and feeds them to mrtg. -- 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 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
