Ray,

In case you need a zero in the second half of the & statement you can use 
PseudoZero.
So your targetline woul look like
Target[name]: <oid>&<oid>:public@<ip> - <oid>&PseudoZero:public@<ip>
PseudoOne is also recognized by MRTG (usefull when you want to multiply 
values...)

One note about using named oid's in mathemetical expressions: In early versions 
of MRTG the only way to get the right result was by using the full numerical 
oid's. I don't know if this has changed after MRTG 2.9.x

HTH,

Jan.

Subject: [mrtg] Correct way to do Target math?


I'm trying to generate a graph using SNMP of actual memory used on a Linux 
system running Net-SNMP.  In theory:

  memTotalReal.0 - memBuffer.0 - memCached.0 - memAvailReal.0

Is the real memory available.

I would like to graph this and also memTotalReal.0.  I am having a hard time 
figuring out the right way to do this however... I am currently
using:

  Target[memory_used]: memTotalReal.0&memTotalReal.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -
    memBuffer.0&memIndex.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -
    memCached.0&memIndex.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -
    memAvailReal.0&memIndex.0:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Pardon the word wrapping).  memIndex.0 evaluates to 0 so that my second 
variable doesn't continue to get subtracted.

Is there a better way to do this?  I tried doing something like:

  memTotalReal.0&memTotalReal.0:<stuff> - memBuffer.0&0:<stuff> ....

But this doesn't evaluate.  Other than the first group, I just want the second 
half of the & statement to be 0.

TIA,
Ray
