I run an old cranky email server, it does not provide me much in the way of message counts. I do want to get this into mrtg.
What I can do now, is roll email logs once a day, and grep out a sent and received count, plus datestamp. Of course, I don't want to do this on years worth of logs every single minute, so I need to know the logic to get mrtg to be happy. I don't fully understand what MRTG does under the hood to get the "data over time" parts. Is it kinda of like, once every 5 minutes, I want to get the last chunk of log data from the email server up to the point where the last data was taken, get my counts, and store those somewhere that mrtg can grab them? Just seems like there is a little window for margin of error, and I am not seeing how this all works from a very general perspective. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- 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
