All accuracy I care about is that if the dsl line is used full-speed for 1 minute, it's reported as full speed in the graph; and if the line is not used, reported not used. Obviously, I don't have time now to write my own polling solution, and I don't see why this cannot be done with mrtg. > Just because you run routers2.cgi, doesn't mean you need a web browser > > exposed to the internet.

I trust my chroot'ed httpd, and I trust that mrtg should not stop at providing 5-minute accuracy in regular mode as opposed to RRDTool mode. I don't want to install any third-party CGIs, I'm quite happy with what mrtg offers, except that 'Interval: 1' doesn't work. :( Cheers, Constantine. -- 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
