RE: {bb} BB 1.9e and MRTG

["Cole, Michael - MLMC Toronto" <mcole@munichre.ca>]

I don't use the RRD tool, some big user of MRTG is gonna go through the roof on this one, but I found RRD really, REALLY, slowed MRTG down. I suspect it was the 14all script. In any case the code I provided works, the thing is obviously you need to set the variables, for example, $FileName is actually the name of the host I am monitoring, $DN is domain name, $TLD is top level domain name,  etc...

Thanks I did just look at the scripts on Dead Cat, but do I need the RDDtools in order to display the graphs on BB?

There is a script on Dead Cat to do this, or you can write your own, if you write your own MRTG to BB script you will need the following code:

 

#BBHOME=/home/bb/bb; export BBHOME
if test "$BBHOME" = ""
then
        echo "BBHOME is not set... exiting."
        exit 1
fi

 

if test ! "$BBTMP"
then
        echo *** LOADING BBDEF ***
        . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh
fi

HTMLOUT2="<A HREF="" border=0"
HTMLOUT2="$HTMLOUT2 src="">HTMLOUT3=" --- </p><br><br>"

I am running BB 1.9e with RedHat ES 3.0 on a dell server.  I have MRTG running on this server also and it is graphing everything correctly.  How do I get BB to display the graphs and alert on them.  Thanks everyone for the help in advance
