[SC.LUG] Anyone use MRTG?

[damian at damosoft.co.uk]

Hi Guys,

I did find this for mrtg config file:

WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg
Target[eth0]: `perl -e '@a=split(/[:\s]+/,qx(grep eth0 
/proc/net/dev));$f="%.0f";$fmt="$f\n$f\n1\neth0 traffic\n";$s=sprintf 
$fmt,$a[2],$a[10];print $s;print STDERR $s;'`;
MaxBytes[eth0]: 1250000
kilo[eth0]: 1024
YLegend[eth0]: Bytes per second
ShortLegend[eth0]: B/s
Title[eth0]: Traffic Analysis
PageTop[eth0]: <h1>Stats for ws1</h1>
Timezone[eth0]: GMT
Legend1[eth0]: Incoming Traffic in Bytes per second
Legend2[eth0]: Outgoing Traffic in Bytes per second
Legend3[eth0]: Maximal 10 Minute Incoming Traffic
Legend4[eth0]: Maximal 10 Minute Outgoing Traffic
LegendI[eth0]: In:
LegendO[eth0]: Out:

But really I want bandwidth and total of data transferred, that has to be 
done with SNMP?
