YMMV, but the DS1 MIB should be available on these units, or at least something similar. All of the error counters are available through this MIB. Can you see appropriate figures if you poll the router manually? A few additional notes on this topic: because MRTG might not take the same amount of time to process its targets on unique runs, your timing may not end up right at 300 second intervals, and it's next to impossible to sync up with the 15-minute intervals where DS1 devices keep these statistics. As such, I monitor both the current interval and the previous interval at the default five minute interval, knowing that a few caveats apply: 1) I will "miss" the last 0-299 seconds in each 15 minute interval, and capture less than 300 seconds during the beginning of the new 15 minute interval, on one poll every three. 2) I will capture the errors missed in #1 by polling the previous interval, but will get the same results for three polls in a row (since the previous interval becomes the previous previous interval every fifteen minutes). I use threshold monitoring to capture moderate and high levels. I have a simple script that treats the "Min" and "Max" thresholds as "info" and "alert" (i.e. the safe zone is below the info and alert levels, NOT in between the Min and Max levels as the default logic assumes). Now I just need to develop a way to integrate some of my automated page generation tools with RRDTool and a companion graph-building CGI, so I can get the CPU load down on my poor monitoring box... pt -- 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
