Title: Message

Don’t know if anyone else ran into this problem, but it had me running in circles for a week now.

 

I started up a whole new server which included MRTG (bandwidth and RSSI).  The graphs were looking CRAPPY to say the least.  If I DO NOT use the “unknaszero option”, then the graphs looked much better but were not really a good representation.  A lot of FLAT LINE AREAS.

 

Anyway…I tried every freaking tweak I could….nothing helped.

 

Finally…it dawned on me that I was now using MRTG-2.10.5 instead of the older MRTG-2.9.25 (which is on my other machine).  So, I copied MRTG-2.9 onto my new server and fired up my graphs using BOTH versions of MRTG graphing the EXACT same units (but different WorkDir to keep them straight).  The results were obvious.

 

The new version sucks.

 

When I did a request from the DOS command line, the RSSI/LQ would come back fine EVERYTIME…but the graphs looked that crap with the newer version.

 

So…long enough story….USE THE OLDER MRTG-2.9.25.

Subject: [smartBridges] MRTG Tools?

 

First of all, I initially had setup MRTG (to monitor all my sB devices, routers, and servers) on a WindowsXP box the OLD hard way.  I had to install all the perl crap, GD packages, etc, etc.  Wasn’t fun…but I did manage to get it working.

 

I just loaded up a new WindowsXP box and tried out OpenXtra (www.openxtra.com) instead.  I then dropped my config files (and sb-mrtg.pl) into the mrtg/bin directory and bammo.  Way easy!

 

 

I was wondering if anyone has tried any of these?
