Hi ! OS: Fedora Core 3 Linux: bash-3.00# uname -a Linux ns1 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 #1 Tue May 17 20:27:37 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux bash-3.00# rpm -q mrtg mrtg-2.10.15-1 bash-3.00# rpm -q net-snmp net-snmp-5.2.1-10.FC3
I found today, that mrtg reports wrong uptime for my recentely updated to FC3 servers, compared to 'uptime' shell command. I have performed some investigation and it showed, that mrtg uses slightly wrong OID variable to get uptime value. Take a look at the following net-snmp FAQ: http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/FAQ.html#The_system_uptime__sysUpTime__returned_is_wrong_ According to it, sysUptime reports time since last snmpd restart, while hrSystemUptime reports time since last system reboot, which is adequate to what 'uptime' command shows, and which, I guess, supposed to be in "had been up for N days" string. Questions: 1) Is there way to "redefine" sysUptime to hrSystemUptime in mrtg configs, that I am not aware of (w/o using external call) ? 2) If (1) doesn't exist, is there way to implement it ? Does it seem to be wrong enough to report it as a bug and let developers fix it in mrtg source code ? Thanks. Sincerely yours, Vladislav Staroselskiy. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
