For network interfaces, it's possible to use symbolic names like eth0, em3, lagg0, bond3 and so on in the Target[] definition. This way, no matter how the devices are enumerated at each boot, the data is polled correctly. These names are listed in the ifDescr.* variables that have the same index value as the if*Octets.* variables.
Is it possible to do the same for any other OIDs that provide *Descr variables? For example, hrStorage* includes hrStorageDescr that links the symbolic names (/, /var, /tmp, and so on) to the specific OID index. Is there anyway to use this symbolic name (as shown in the *Descr output) instead of the OID numbers? It's really annoying to have to double-check everything in the config file(s) after a server is rebooted, and to manually update the Target[] lines to match how things got enumerated this time. :( If it's not currently possible to do this, are there any plans to add this? Or is there some way this can be tacked/hacked onto the system? -- Freddie Cash [email protected] _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
