[MRTG] Archiving daily graphs under NT

[Richard...@cne.com.au]

I am trying to use the mrtg-archiver that comes in NT distribution of mrtg
(in the contrib directory).

For some reason (my perl is VERY limited) the backup.pl is having a problem
with the $date = (`date +%y%m%d`) line.

Has anybody else got this working? Or does anybody have a better archiver?

What I really want is one that I can pass the .cfg file to, and it archive
the daily graphs (and build an index) for ALL the targets in the .cfg file.

Can anybody help?

Thanks
Richard Palmer

Richard,

I hacked a very bad version of archiver for NT. I am unhappy with the results
and it does not work the way you would like, however I did get past the date
problem as follows. The problem is that the NT DATE executable does not work
like the Unix one so I used an internal Perl command (localtime). Added a
little Y2K code and some formatting to get it in shape for archiver. There are
lots of other problems to get past, like directory navigation.

# Get date and time of execution
($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time);
$cent = 20;
if ( $year >= 98 ) {
$cent = 19;
}
$date = sprintf("%02d%02d%02d%02d",$cent,$year,++$mon,$mday);
$time = sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d",$hour,$min,$sec);
print "==================================================\n";
print "Starting backup for day $date at $time.\n";
