Actually, I've used it for routers, switches, and modem pools. Anything you can get numbers for, you can use MRTG for. It can take a simple text file of numbers as its input, and these can be generated by anything (including, but not limited to, MRTG's own SNMP routines). For instance, I'm Jonesing for that cool Dallas 1-wire weather station. I want to use a PIC to grab data from that, send it to my Linux PC, and let a simple Perl or Expect script put the numbers into a format I can let MRTG have to graph temperature, wind speed, etc. Check out the web site and the documentation for it. Chances are if you can collect numeric data over time, you can use MRTG to show you what you need to see. It's incredibly flexible. This is drifting seriously OT...

I'm going to stick this in the file. When I get around to data display again, I'm going to look you up. That OK? Thanks.

I'll help in whatever way I can, which may or may not be much help. ;-) Dale --- The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"
