Cheshire Cat Computing

Steve and others,

I didn't know how to put it in the subject, but this is what I am trying to do:

I want to display the main interface from multiple devices on a single page, one graph per interface. Kinda like the "All Graphs" view but a different interface per graph instead of a different time frame.

Does that make sence?

If that is not possible, is there a way to make the "Summary" view not scale the information? If that's do able then I could make a .cfg with the interfaces I want to view and view all of the graphs with the "Summary" view.

Thanks for any help you can give,

PS: Thanks for making routers.cgi. I don't think I could have gotten MRTG to work so well without it.

I *think* I know what you are after....

Basically, you want a Summary graph, but where the targets come from different .cfg files rather than the current, right?

This is going to be possible in later versions (Im working on making a feature like 'routers.cgi*Graph' that allows you to define different Summary pages) but not at the moment.

However, there is a way to sort of achieve it, although it is messy.

1) Create a special .cfg file that uses Include: to include all of the .cfg files containing targets you want. This should NOT be called by MRTG, it is ONLY for the benefit of routers.cgi.
2) Put in the lines
routers.cgi*InCompact[_]: no
routers.cgi*InMenu[_]: no
routers.cgi*InSummary[_]: no
routers.cgi*InOut[_]: no
at the beginning of the file, before the Includes.
3) Now, for each of the targetnames that you want in your summary, AFTER the Include lines, add the line
routers.cgi*InSummary[targetname]: yes
4) Now go to this dummy .cfg file in routers.cgi. You should see a single Target in the menu, the summary page, and this will summarise the ones you want!
5) If any targets appear in the menu that you dont want, add at the end the lines in step (2) but for that particular targetname, not _.

The drawback of doing it this way, of course, is that you have a new 'Device' in the devices menu. However, it works -- it also works if you want to make userdefined Graphs over targets in multiple files. I am using it here to summarise the mail queue graphs from multiple servers into a single total graph.

Hope this makes sense to you.

The graphs on the summary page are calculated exactly like on the 'normal' page, except that they are size 's' and have no legend. So, if they would be normally scaled, then they will be scaled here. But....

If you are using the method above, then you may be able to put

routers.cgi*Options[$]: unscaled

or

routers.cgi*UnScaled[_]: none

at the beginning of the summary .cfg file. Depending on if you have already overriddent the defaults, this could give you unscaled graphs for the special summary page.
