Hi again, To follow up on this myself - it seems as if the graphing as just gone mad.
In my last email I said that the graph was showing nothing at all but now it strangely seems to pick values to graph. The weirdo graphs can be seen here: http://83.141.126.233/mrtg/allusersbandwidth.html And, really, the traffic isn't whats its showing! For a moment (between 3AM and 6AM it looks like its actually, maybe, graphing something useful - but probably its not real - these are broadband users and it would be very unlikely that they are using exactly 1.6mbps between those hours. Whats weird is that I think the perl script (linux_stats.pl from the contrib directory) is working ok - it constantly shows ever increasing figures when executed - but I think the MRTG log is strange in that its always showing the same figures. I did a quick test where I ran the linux_stats.pl script at the shell prompt (/usr/local/mrtgscripts/linux_stat/linux_stats.pl eth3 /proc/net/dev) every 5 seconds and put the figures into a spreadsheet and looked at the difference and, sure enough, the figures are going up & down so it looks more like an MRTG issue rather than the linux_stats.pl script. I haven't a clue whats going wrong at the moment! thanks for any help Derek This is the current MRTG log file for the target: - 1150747503 2861614492 2577892407 1150747503 202 399 202 399 1150747203 202 399 202 399 1150747200 202 399 202 399 1150746900 202 399 202 399 1150746600 202 399 202 399 1150746300 202 399 202 399 1150746000 202 399 202 399 1150745700 202 399 202 399 1150745400 202 399 202 399 1150745100 202 399 202 399 1150744800 202 399 202 399 1150744500 202 399 202 399 1150744200 202 399 202 399 1150743900 202 399 202 399 1150743600 202 399 202 399 1150743300 202 399 202 399 1150743000 202 399 202 399 1150742700 202 399 202 399 1150742400 202 399 202 399 1150742100 202 399 202 399 1150741800 202 399 202 399 1150741500 202 399 202 399 1150741200 202 399 202 399 1150740900 202 399 202 399 1150740600 202 399 202 399 1150740300 202 399 202 399 1150740000 202 399 202 399 1150739700 202 399 202 399 1150739400 202 399 202 399 1150739100 202 399 202 399 1150738800 202 399 202 399 1150738500 202 399 202 399 1150738200 202 399 202 399 1150737900 202 399 202 399 1150737600 202 399 202 399 1150737300 202 399 202 399 1150737000 202 399 202 399 1150736700 202 399 202 399 1150736400 202 399 202 399 1150736100 202 399 202 399 1150735800 202 399 202 399 1150735500 202 399 202 399 1150735200 202 399 202 399 1150734900 202 399 202 399 1150734600 202 399 202 399 1150734300 202 399 202 399 1150734000 202 399 202 399 1150733700 202 399 202 399 1150733400 202 399 202 399 1150733100 202 399 202 399 1150732800 202 399 202 399 1150732500 202 399 202 399 1150732200 202 399 202 399 1150731900 202 399 202 399 1150731600 202 399 202 399 1150731300 202 399 202 399 1150731000 202 399 202 399 1150730700 202 399 202 399 1150730400 202 399 202 399 1150712100 202 399 202 399 1150711800 202 399 202 399 1150711500 202 399 202 399 1150711200 202 399 202 399 1150710900 202 399 202 399 1150710600 202 399 202 399 1150710300 202 399 202 399 1150710000 202 399 202 399 1150709700 202 399 202 399 1150709400 202 399 202 399 1150709100 202 399 202 399 1150708800 202 399 202 399 1150708500 202 399 202 399 1150708200 202 399 202 399 1150707900 202 399 202 399 1150707600 202 399 202 399 1150707300 202 399 202 399 1150707000 202 399 202 399 1150706700 202 399 202 399 1150706400 202 399 202 399 1150706100 202 399 202 399 1150705800 202 399 202 399 1150705500 202 399 202 399 1150705200 202 399 202 399 1150704900 202 399 202 399 1150704600 202 399 202 399 1150704300 202 399 202 399 1150704000 202 399 202 399 1150703700 202 399 202 399 1150703400 202 399 202 399 1150703100 202 399 202 399 1150702800 202 399 202 399 1150702500 202 399 202 399 1150702200 202 399 202 399 1150701900 202 399 202 399 1150701600 202 399 202 399 1150701300 202 399 202 399 1150701000 202 399 202 399 1150700700 202 399 202 399 1150700400 202 399 202 399 1150700100 202 399 202 399 1150699800 202 399 202 399 1150699500 202 399 202 399 1150699200 202 399 202 399 1150698900 202 399 202 399 1150698600 202 399 202 399 1150698300 202 399 202 399 1150698000 202 399 202 399 1150697700 202 399 202 399 1150697400 202 399 202 399 1150697100 202 399 202 399 1150696800 202 399 202 399 1150696500 202 398 225 399 1150696200 224 331 225 332 1150695900 181 305 203 331 1150695600 202 330 203 331 1150695300 194 315 218 316 1150695000 217 254 218 254 1150694700 188 254 191 254 1150694400 191 254 242 292 1150694100 242 292 242 292 1150693800 242 292 294 292 1150693500 293 292 294 292 1150693200 278 292 278 292 1150692900 278 292 306 292 1150692600 306 292 306 292 1150692300 306 292 306 292 1150692000 306 292 306 292 1150691700 305 292 306 292 1150691400 230 292 231 292 1150691100 196 292 212 351 1150690800 212 351 224 362 1150690500 224 361 292 362 1150690200 291 321 292 321 1150689900 203 321 246 336 1150689600 245 336 246 336 1150689300 207 335 216 336 1150689000 216 333 223 339 1150688700 222 339 223 353 1150688400 211 352 325 353 1150688100 324 351 325 351 1150687800 253 351 254 351 1150687500 215 351 351 351 1150687200 349 351 351 351 1150686900 219 351 240 364 1150686600 239 363 240 364 1150686300 207 322 208 369 1150686000 207 368 208 369 1150685700 205 339 211 340 1150685400 211 323 248 362 1150685100 248 362 248 362 1150684800 248 361 266 362 1150684500 266 338 266 338 1150684200 265 338 266 338 1150683900 262 338 292 338 1150683600 291 338 292 338 1150683300 210 334 398 338 1150683000 398 0 398 0 1150682700 397 0 398 0 1150682400 283 0 400 0 1150682100 400 0 400 0 1150681800 400 0 400 0 1150681500 400 0 400 0 1150681200 400 0 400 0 1150680900 400 0 400 0 1150680600 400 0 400 0 1150680300 400 0 400 0 1150680000 400 0 400 0 1150679700 400 0 400 0 1150679400 400 0 400 0 1150679100 400 0 400 0 1150678800 400 0 400 0 1150678500 400 0 400 0 1150678200 400 0 400 0 1150677900 400 0 400 0 1150677600 400 0 400 0 1150677300 400 0 400 0 1150677000 400 0 400 0 1150676700 400 0 400 0 1150676400 400 0 400 0 ............ ............
