Do you know perl? It'd be pretty easy to write a little snmp script to query the router and log it to a text file or mysql or something. Cron it for every 5 minutes. Then write another script to analyze the collected data, i.e. "select max(col) from table" in sql, or parse your log file out. Don't try to "program" mrtg. If you want to use the stuff MRTG uses to store the data, you should look at RRDTool. That's at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ along with a bunch of documentation on how to integrate it. Also, check out cacti (http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/) for lots of examples of collection scripts, and in general, for a much better MRTG replacement. I've run hundreds and hundreds of routers in cacti, and it works well enough on a fast machine. All of this stuff is free-ish (gpl i think). -sd Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=60446&t=60423 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
