You'll need to put Perl code in the cfgmaker interface template. Read up on the cfgmaker documentation for this... and of course you'll need to be adequately good at perl coding. I don't have the itme to write the whole thing for you though! Take a look at the sample templates in the template library at http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker > I have tried various stuff including calling scripts from the PageTop > directly, but it will just echo whatever i put in there.

If you are using MRTG/RRD with Routers2 then you can put vars in the Pagetop, and later versions of routers2 let you put in Includes and even external execs which would achieve this by a long route. The difference is if you want this value to be re-polled each time you look, or if it is sufficient to just poll it once when you initially set up the MRTG configuration file (IE by using cfgmaker templates) Steve _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
