Write a little script on the host to be monitored containing something
like
the following (cut along dotted lines):

------------------ 8< ----------------------
#!/bin/ksh

df -Pk $1 | awk '/^\// {print $2 "\n" $3}'
uptime
hostname
------------------ 8< ----------------------

Then run the script from MRTG using the `backquotes` syntax.  If it's a 
remote host you can do it via SSH with non-interactive authentication.

Note that it takes one parameter, the filesystem to be monitored.

I believe it just suppresses the charts, not the data.

Scott.
