Dear all, Please I have a question, in the MRTG .log files there are 5 columns:
1- the first one is the time stamp in UTC 2- the second one is the average incoming transfer rate in bytes per second. This is valid for the time between the UTC of the current line and the UTC of the previous line 3- the third column is same as the second but outgoing. 4- The fourth column is the maximum incoming transfer rate in bytes per second for the current interval. This is calculated from all the updates which have occurred in the current interval. 5- The fifth is the same as the fourth one but outgoing. So that means that there is some sampling time that is less than the specified interval in the "mrtg.cfg" file to be able to detect the maximum. For example, I have adjusted the interval to be 5 minutes and I got values in the .log file as the following: 1251871200 124890 463933 204720 497123 1251864000 124836 464014 188781 500925 1251856800 153102 478951 705564 892407 1251849600 129210 466166 185505 515786 As the second column is the average over 5 minutes, and the 4th column values is much greater than maximum values, so my question is exactly: what is the minimum interval that the MRTG can detect a certain maximum throughput within it? Thanks a lot for your patience and your support, I really appreciate that. Best Regards, MUSTAFA A. ABDEL HADY Network Engineer
