Cheshire Cat Computing

Today I found the hard way that using the default snmp v1 in mrtg might cause overflow with 1 Gb/s or 10 Gb/s NICs.

I slightly modified my script to use snmp v2 instead.

I also use a modified directory listing php script to create a web page with all my mrtg directories, my modified script is included as index.sh but should be renamed to index.php. I was not able to post the script to this forum without renaming it. To use it the original package from http://www.evoluted.net/thinktank/web-d ... ing-script is needed.

I tried to post a comment at the above page where I asked about the license of the directory listing script.Unfortunately it seems as my post was rejected, but as a reply to another comment the author of the script wrote:


Even though that comment was not written to me I assume my modification is also OK.

I just tried this template on a linux server, couple of comments.

Firstly I ran into the H1 issue that henrik did, using his version of the script fixed that.
Secondly "free" memory on a linux box isn't actually a very useful figure since linux will use as much as it can for disk cache. So generally free+cached is more interesting than free.

The issue with indexmaker and configs generated has to do with the PageTop entry not being encapsulated in heading tags in the generated config file.

For example:

PageTop[my-server-cpu]: my-server CPU usage

needs to be:

PageTop[my-server-cpu]: <H1>my-server CPU usage</H1>


I manually went through the generated config file and added the H1 tags to everywhere PageTop was. After that I was able to run indexmaker on the file with no errors.

Great template otherwise!
