[MRTG] Strange MRTG trouble

[Borek Lupomesky]

Hello all,

I am trying to set-up MRTG to monitor Linux box's loadaverage. I have
put together small shell script and put this into MRTG's config:

Target[nella-load]: `/root/admin/load2mrtg`
MaxBytes[nella-load]: 1000
AbsMax[nella-load]: 10000
Options[nella-load]: growright,absolute
Title[nella-load]: nella.ujep.cz load average
PageTop[nella-load]: <H1>nella load</H1>

The pages are generated, but the "input" is always zero. The script is
apparently working well. I did this thing once already some time ago and I
use some other special scripts to pass values to MRTG so I really wonder
what's wrong here. MRTG is version 2.5.3

Bye Borek

Well, well, ... this is where the saying "RTFM" applies -- of course,
you're right and it works now. Thanks a lot.
