Re: Squid & MRTG possible?

Hi.
   I needed to tinker with MRTG a little bit to make things work on the
latest version (which allows you to specify port #'s) - it tries to lookup
a device name:

          ($in,$out,$uptime,$name) =
            &snmpget($$target{$targ}{'router'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'community'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'oid1'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'oid2'},
                     'sysUptime',
                     'sysName');

and squid doesn't contain that information (or atleast MRTG choked trying
to get that information from my server). I changed the line above to be:

          ($in,$out) =
            &snmpget($$target{$targ}{'router'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'community'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'oid1'},
                     $$target{$targ}{'oid2'});

and along with some other stuff from the patch (hard coding the squid
oid's) things work just peachy.
