If you can get the data via command line then you can script it. MRTG can graph the results if your script provides the right output format.
Have a look at the section "External Monitor Scripts" in the MRTG-reference.html. Jan. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Haneda Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2005 10:08 AM To: MRTG Subject: [mrtg] Ok, this is fun, how can I monitor arbitrary data now I am just getting the hang of mrtg and getting it to look at my switch how I want it, but I am thinking, there must be other stuff I can watch. I am running this on OS X, I found I can access the CPU temp sensors via command line, so, are there any beginner steps on how to properly format this data in a way MRTG will chart it. I may also want to look at my email server, for which it is an off OS X version, and about the only data I can get to is the logs, any suggestions? Or, can I simply tell mrtg to watch port 110 for example on a certain machine? Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 <http://www.newgeo.com> Novato, CA U.S.A. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi _________________________________________________________ Het ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid sluit elke aansprakelijkheid uit in verband met het niet juist, onvolledig of niet tijdig overkomen van de informatie in deze e-mail.
