Peter- Thanks a lot for the support. I figure that the below setting needs to be added to the cfg file, but even before I figure out how to use it, on the face of it there might be a problem:
The line basically looks like it is instructing MRTG to add the traffic in and out to create the total. During a "current" snapshot, that is an accurate total, however, during an "average" it is not, because it simply treats the In and Out traffic as if they were simultaneous. To accurately get an average of the total traffic, you need to get an average of the combined totals of every snapshot and the number will be different. Any thoughts? -Allon On 5/8/03 1:20 AM, "Peter Glanville" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>> Is there a way to create and additional statistic or graph >>> that shows the combined traffic (in and out)of an interface? >>> Allon Bendavid >> you can do what you want with MRTG it is easy, see the docs. >> nate > > OK, I know this question was asked a couple of days ago, and the answer was > RTFM on that occasion as well. > I have re-read the manual and I cannot see where it mentions totalling in a > simple manner for newbies (which this user explained he is). > Surely it would be more helpful to point him at the right part of the > manual? > > I know that one solution is to do target plus itself (reversed) with the > NoI option > Target[total]: 1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] + -1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > But how is a newbie supposed to figure that out? > > Let's be helpful, even if it is tiring.
