This verifies that you're using a unix-domain socket and the socket is writeable. - Check for environment variable RRDCACHED_ADDRESS and use this if no explicit address was set in the cfg file, making the same config validity checks. - Make warning if using rrdcached to the effect that the thresholding checks will no longer work. - If in rrdcached-mode, and using RRDTool 1.4, then force use of update rather than updatev (as rrdcached does not yet support updatev) and consequently bypass the thresholding checks. - Changes to validity check error messages to also report the file containing the error (as well as the line). * Added support for glob patterns in include * Make daemon reload cfg automatically when it changes From: john.belshaw cggveritas.com * added support for Arista to cfgmaker From: duncan_j_ferguson at yahoo.co.uk * fix cfgmaker to work in mixed v1/2/3 snmp environment From: Stuart Henderson stu spacehopper.org * do not strigify arguments to conversion function let eval take care of this * untaint inlast and outlast to make perl taint mode happy * teach cfgmaker about openbsd Changes 2.16.4, 2010-05-17 -------------------------- From: Tobi * fix "P_DETACH" and Pod::Usage issues with perl 5.12 From: James Golovich * relax cfgmaker option parsing when figuring whether to test for highspeed counters or not.

Configurable via ThreshHyst * New function thresholdmail lets you send an email when a threshold is broken. This feature talks directly to the mailserver and does not require any external programs. * New template writers helper function in cfgmaker - oid_pick. It tests if a device is willing to supply information regarding a particular oid. This makes template writing much more pleasant. http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg-trac/browser/trunk/templates/cisco/host-cisco.tmpl * added new tool mrtg-traffic-sum to build traffic stats based on the content of your mrtg log (not rrd) files. * mrtg running with rrdtool can now do sub-minute resolution if the interval is specified like that: 0:30 ... note that you can not change the resolution of an existing rrd file. So this will only have the desired effect on new rrds. Also note that the graphing frontend may need changes too to be able to deal with the new interval type.

Aftermath of the confcache problems in 2.9.0 * cfgmaker was not working properly when multiple routers were specified on the commandline From: Dan Harkless * cfgmaker fixes: spelling, quote arguments with space, make --subdirs work * MRTG_lib.pm include file error message had misspelling and output wrong file. From: donlong * updated big5 translation Changes 2.9.1 ------------- From: Rainer Bawidamann * problem with confcache update marker From: Dan Harkless * Various documentation spelling and version number fixes. * Change whatis.* doc files to mrtg.* to not conflict with system whatis.1. From: Lars Christiansen * get subif description on cisco hssi interfaces in cfgmaker Changes 2.9.0 ------------- * The rrdtool integration allows for massively increased logging performance. * Routers which change their interface numbers are no problem any more. MRTG can now reliably address interfaces by IP, MAC, Description, Name and Type. The cfgmaker tool has been rewritten from scratch and allows to generate configurations with any of the above mentioned interface addressing methods. * Indexmaker has be rewritten from scratch, it is now much more flexible and fully documented. * All the MRTG documentation has been reviewed and ported to perls "Plain Old Documentation (POD)" format. This allows to provide all documentation in text, HTML and man format. It is now all available on the MRTG web-site. * Config file parsing has been optimized. This makes reading configuration files much faster. Especially large configuration files are faster by factors * Under UNIX, mrtg can fork into several instances while querying routers. This improves data acquisition performance dramatically, especially with slow networks. * Graphs and webpages can be generated on the fly is mrtg is used with rrdtool logging. Several tools in the mrtg contrib section are available for this purpose. * And there is more: MRTG has been translated into 29 languages, OS detection has been automated, did I mention performance, many of the contributed tools have been dated and a slew of new ones has been added, The config file reading code is now available in a documented library which simplifies the creation of other tools which need access to the mrtg cfg file.

From: Steven.Shipway location adsweu.com - updated contrib/routers to version 1.0 - contributed contrib/servers.cgi From: Rainer Bawidamann - fixes for 14all.cgi ... - more debbugging information in log mode about what happens when rrdtool and rateup run ----pre23------------ From: Rainer Bawidamann - fixed threshold support for rrdtool mode - -w fixes for MRTG_lib.pm - relax check for going into threshold mode From: Tobi - pre22 optimisation in target parser broke it ... fixed now complex targets get parsed properly - fixed indexmaker in connection with the directory option ----pre22------------ From: Rainer Bawidamann - updated version of 14all.cgi - identify threshold checking configs properly - fixed snmp level 2 identification for simple targets - add default values for background and backgc From: Benoit Artuso - fix for confcache regeneration From: Bjorn Nordbo - fixes for forker (trgnum was wrong ...) - fixes for missing 'directory' support in log2rrd From: Tobi - use OS installer if one is available - lost a line from cfg file reads ... fixed - added OS detection to MRTG_lib so no more main:: stuff is necessary. - test for existence of work/log/html/image dir, try to reate if missing - Used SmallProf on cfgparser found a grep which was bogging everything down ... together with some other small optimizations this brought the config file reading in my test case (900 simple targets) down from 30 seconds to 7 seconds ... SmallProf rules (or if you look at the total runtime (I am using fork 10) this went down from 43 to 21 seconds ----pre21------------ From: Lucas Nussbaum - contrib: ircstats2.pl a script used to monitor the user load on IRC networks. Contrary to ircstats by Matt Ramsey, it remains connected to the server. From: Tobi - add mask to mkdir call it seems some perls can't deal with the simple form ... - fixed forking code ... I think I got the typeglob magic right now. note, when experimenting with the number of forked collectors, more is not always better. Eg, If you shoot two collectors at a single router in parallel this may prove to be slower than having one collector at work. As a rule of thumb you might want to try a fork equivalent to the number of routers you are monitoring ... (my record with forking, RunAsDaemon and RRDtool is 800 interfaces in 13 seconds ... - added the Include: keyword to the config parser as discussed on the ML ----pre20------------ From: Matthew Schumacher - upate to cpu info From: Tobi - fixed start time for newly created rrds ... this must be $time-2 not $now - fixed quick check rules for maxbytes1 and maxbytes2 - missing directory[xxx] entries will get autocreated - modified quickcheck rules ... instead of strings we use anonymous subs now ... this has the advantage of perl actually compiling the stuff and thus finding errors in the checks even when they are not exercised ... - ***EXPERIMENTAL*** added forking function. If you run mrtg on a system that can fork (UNIX for example) you can try the new 'Forks:' option in the config file. The result of this is that mrtg will fork into several instances prior to going out to ask the routers for snmp data. For situations with high latency as well as mrtg.cfgs with many different devices this will speed things up considerably. It will not make things faster if you query a single switch sitting around next door. As fahr as I know NT can not fork so I have disabled this for NT. If you measure some performance data with this approach please let me know how much faster you went ... ----pre19------------ From: Roy-Magne Mo - binaries must be installed with 755 From: Tobi - when eval fails in target we die - relaxed target parser to cope with oid names which have no dots at all and oids starting with a dot. ----pre18------------ From: Tobi - cfgmaker will disable cisco interfaces with description VLAN.. From: Ferenc Toth - MRTG_lib.pm target parser for complex targets (&) was broken in pre16 ..

SRC path was wrong - fixed potential problem with ensureSL where a final / was added to an empty string ... - added new interface reference type ifName introduced in mrtg and cfgmaker ifname references are introduced by the # character. Check the reference and the cfgmaker man pages - improved mrtg performance by not asking for uptime and sysname with every target when doing logformat rrdtool - fixed lost uptime and sys name querying for rateup logformat From: Steven.Shipway location adsweu.com - updated contrib/routers to version 0.11 ----pre16------------ Thomas Abthorpe - Tby. * - fixed broken header introduced in pre15 :-) From: Rainer Bawidamann - reenabled threshold checking which got inadvertedly disabled in pre15 - cosmetic fixes for MRTG_lib.pm From: Tobi - we die always if we get errors from RRDs - moved read/write confcache functions into MRTG_lib ----pre15------------ From: Tobi - fixed problem with confcache where mrtg did not see that the confcache was already populated and thus repopulated it on every target ... this means that for all Descr / Ip and Eth targets we get a performance improvement of 1000% - fixed problem with calculation targets (adding results from two interfaces and such) this did not get detected properly ... - integrated automatic log to rrd convertor ... if you have configured logformat: rrdtool and and are running for the first time, your old .log file will be converted to the new rrd format of rrdtool. the .log files will not get removed. So that you can compare the old with the new graphs. Note that this is a VERY NEW feature and it may well not yet work exactly as planned ... - replaced the UseRRDtool cfg parameter with logformat: rrdtool. Check the doc/mrtg-rrd.txt file for details. (NOTE: 14all.cgi has not yet been modified to work with this new convention, but Rainer said he will do it in a few adays after his exames) - added -w switch to mrtg, cfgmaker and indexmaker ... found&fixed many little problems in the process - fixed problem with missing space in per and posttargers - Rearanged directory layout to follow more traditional lines. Binaries are in bin/ libraries in lib/mrtg2 - adepted Makfile to also install in these directories - adapted documentation - fixed some issues with cfg reading introduced when splitting mrtg into MRTG_lib.pm - fixed error handling with RRDtool From: William P. McGonigle - if writeexpire has been defined, create one for the index.html file as well From: Kit-pui Wong - fixed alignement of indexmaker graph titles ... From: Miroslaw.Maczka location bze.com.pl - a rateup for NT which produces pngs so finally no mode gifs for NT as well From: Rainer Bawidamann - Documentation for MRTG_lib and some better argument checking for MRTG_lib From: Curtis Doty & Tobi - use FindBin to determine location of modules. Revamped all the library finding code in mrtg - indexmaker fix for filter regexp and some output fixes ----pre14------------ From: Rainer Bawidamann - more flexible config parsing functionality added to MRTG_lib.pm in preparation for a better configurable 14all.cgi due out soon. From: Tobi - fixed NT path issues ... backslash is a bitch in re ... needed to put some \Q and \E in to fix things ... (I am amazed it did run at all befor this hmmm. From: Curtis Doty - fixes some install errors in Makefile.in From: Thomas Brian Granier - NT verion wanted to create "zip" instead for "gif" fixed ----pre13------------ From: Tobi - reworked directory[x]: and general path issues with mrtg ... maybe it works now ... - default graph format for NT is gif (until someone submits a rateup.exe which is compiled with a recent gd) - fixed bug in confcache code which prevented proper matching of non ifnum targets - modified parsing rules for EXEC targets, COMMUNITY and DESCRIPTION ... EXEC backticks can be used inside when escaped like this: \` COMMUNITY space and @ can be used like this \ location and "\ " DESCRIPTION space and : can be used with "\ " and "\:" in all other combinations the \ has no special significance ----pre12------------ From: Tobi - made SNMPv2c queriing work ... the target parser did not properly see :::::2 ----pre11------------ From: Tobi - fixed target nameing in cfgmaker - fixed 'no workdir' error in mrtg - fixed populateconfcache for setups with communities other than 'public' ----pre10------------ From: Tobi - fixed cfgmaker man page to use " for --global delimiters as NT seems to have no clue on '. - added hint on escaping ! to the indexmaker manual - added mrtg version to documentation pages ----pre9------------ From: Tobi - fixed RunAsDaemon Code ... target array should not get deleted between runs. - fixed mrtg target parser for If number 0 case ... ----pre8------------ From: Curtis Doty - fixes for Makefile install routine From: Simon Barnes - fix to test for validty of results from data returned by 'external' targets.It was inverted. From: Tobi - added missing semi colon to indexmaker - added requirement for perl 5.005 to indexmaker and cfgmaker - added part of the PodParser module so that things work with perl 5.005 From: Alex - spell fixes for unix-guide.pod, forum.pod, contrib.pod ----pre7------------ From: Rainer Bawidamann - contrib / version 1.0p16 of 14all.cgi From: Benoit Artuso - images did not get generated in the correct place with the 'directory' option From: Tobi - converted all documentation to pod format and added several new chapters ... - created new mrtg homepage which links all available documentation online - created new installation guides for unix and nt - complete overhaul of the target parser (NOTE: it is NOT a horrible Hack any more ... look at the code (tobi is proud) - along with the target parser I also replaced all the snmpget logic. - calling Interfaces by ifNumber, Ethernet Address, IP Number or Description are all neatly integrated in the code. No more Horrible Hacks. Along with data polling, the Interface nubmers get double checked. If a reconfiguration occures, mrtg automatically gets the new configuration from the router. - MRTG does *NOT* notice config changes on Interface Numbers anymore. This means if you have devices which change interface numbering do not call the interfaces into the mrtg.cfg by number but rather by Description or by Ip. - added new debug facility to mrtg. Different debug levels can now be called by name. Check the beginning of the script. - when using rrdtool, mrtg now also deals with *UNKNOWN* and non integer values. - extracted some functionality of mrtg into an external module called MRTG_lib.pm. This module is now used by cfgmaker and indexmaker. For indexmaker this means that it uses the same cfg parsing engine as mrtg proper. - over all about 30% of mrtg got replaced by brand new and rather clean code. - complete rewrite of cfgmaker ... try cfgmaker --help for instructions cfgmaker can now produce config files with interface identification by Number, Ip, Description and Ethernet Address - complete rewrite of indexmaker ... the old code was broken beyond reason. options are different in the new indexmaker. Use indexmaker --help for help. - added RRDs detection to configure script (--with-RRDs can be used to set a path explicitly ----pre6------------ From: Tobi - added automatic OS detection ... no more editing mrtg - better isolation of graphics format ... ${main::GRAPHFMT} - made imagedir logdir and htmldir work - fixed infinite loop for workdir configs - added $! to most open calls for better error reporting - reviewed and updated install instructions in README From: Ilja Pavkovic - update fuer deutsches locale ----pre5------------ From: Tobi - removed debug output from mrtg ----pre4------------ From: Yovko Lambrev - fixed bulgarian translation From: Rainer and Tobi - added docu for PageFoot to config.pod From: Tobi - extension config did not work ... now it does From: ve location hardcore.lt - update to lithuanian locale From: Tobi - made new options imagedir logdir and htmldir work From: Simon Leinen - some SNMPv2c additions to SNMP_util.pm From: Tobi - added SetEnv[xyz]: option to mrtg.cfg for passing information on to external scripts.

It is triggered by including "hourly" in the options line. The patch has worked satisfactorily on our site (used when measuring cache access and news server article counts) I find it better than simply multiplying the sample values, because it takes into account the actual time that passed between the samples.

Schmiedehausen Correct behaviour if the child process has already terminated before mrtg goes to wait for it ... From: Daniel Trinkle Error message if the cfg file can not be opened ... >From Simon Leinen better configurability of SNMP timeouts ... >From Jean-Luc RICHIER (Jean-Luc.Richier location Imag.Fr richier location imag.fr) 1/ If there is a ' in an external target description (within `), mrtg dies with eval problems. (I needed ' to protect spaces). This comes from a substitution in the target, which tries to convert the target in a perl string, quoted with '. Therefore a ' in the target causes a badly quoted string. 2/ The second problem is a lock problem : if mrtg fails (for example due to the ' problem above), the two lock files CFG_l et CFG_l_$$ are kept, which forbid to restart mrtg. I think that at least the lock file CFG_l_$$ should always be destroyed. If this is done, the second lock will only have 1 link, so it is discarded. Changes 2.5.3 ------------- * more consistant handling of pre and postfix settings in cfg files and lots of fixes to the manual ... thanks to Mark Martinec * correct handling of ifDescrs which contain an = sign ... * better sanitizing of calculated target values * fixed overflow bug with maxx in rateup * BER.pm up to 0.57 SNMP_Session.pm up to 0.58 * fixed writeexpires ...

This enables and disables the vendor specific queries ... * added contrib from Carlos Canau It allows one to make a graph of analog/ISDN lines on a Livingston Portmaster 3. (PMLines) * fixed a longstanding bug where rateup was skewing at log entries not aligned with the normal sampling interval. This happened when ever the NEXT macro was going from one sampling interval onto another one ... thanks to Lane Patterson of GlobalCenter ISI , Erwin Authried and Ari Lewitter * further improved the accuracy for large installations. Mrtg does now get a timestamp down with every reading taken from a router. If we are running a simple target, this timestamp is passed along to rateup with the t option * ircstats contrib by Matt Ramsey added ... * fixed 'current time' passing from mrtg to rateup ... * much improved handling of 'first run' * output for cfgmaker is now sorted alphabeticaly .. (Andres Kroonmaa) * added mrtg-dynip contrib from John Heenan, providing support for environments with dynamic IP addersses ... * Added Contrib to mibhelp.txt * check the output of external gatherers. Are we really being fed a number? * Added PageFoot[] configurable ... Changes 2.4.1 ------------- * fixed external command bug Changes 2.4 ----------- * fixed IconDir ... Carlos Canau * mrtg.cfg-dist debugged and rewritten ... Paul FIscher * mod_expire tip from Stephane Bortzmeyer added to mrtg.cfg-dist * mrtg: large values are not handled by int any more but rather by sprintf "%.0f" * mailstat fixes by Petter Reinholdtsen * added nopercent option as suggested by Frank van Wensveen * added contrib by Philippe.Simonet location SWISSTELECOM.com a c-program to create gifs showing the traffic distribution over time real neat ... Thanks ... * changed chops in mrtg to chomp calls just in case ... * fixed 'external' command parsing in target lines ... Changes 2.3 ----------- Added IconDir configurable, for people who want to keep the mrtg logo in a central location. As suggested by James FitzGibbon Made the period var a double in rateup.c as suggested by Dave Added patch from Paul to cfgmaker now it will try to figure the speed of an interface .... Stooped mrtg from aborting on non existing HOST names Warn on Duplicate CFG entries. Customizable week number thingy from Simon Leinen rateup fix for FreeBSD: FreeBSD does not need malloc.h included. From: Ulf Zimmermann Fix for time chitter by Dave ... new pingprobe from Peter W. Osel relaxed parsing of keywords. ther can be a space before the colon .... as sugested by Samath >From mcm location unx.sas.com Tue Jun 3 07:43:38 1997 Cheanged rateup.c so that it will start scaling the graphs when the datarate is higher than MaxBytes, if the AbsMax value is set. Even when it is operation in unscaled mode ... I also changed 'indexmaker' to allow me to pass in a title, and to support the 'Directory' option in the configuration file. From: Jay Soffian Wed, 04 Jun 1997 15:34:01 -0400 Added new configurables XScale[], YScale[] to really enlarge the graphs and not just make their pixels larger ... Added configurable Step[] to allow for shorter base periods different from 5 Minutes ... But beware, this is NOT supported ... and its likely that you will run into problems ... Updated to latest version of SNMP_Session.pm This will work fine with perl5.002 and above. BUT not with perl 5.001 !!! so if you are still using an old version of perl, use SNMP_Session.pm-for-perl5.001 2.2 --- Added Contribution from Anthony Rumble. For gathering stats for apache webservers and squid proxies From: T. Pospisek SHELL scripts to get active tty(-dial-in modem-) lines localy and remotely. I'm using them with a cyclades board but they can be adapted at wish to different tasks. made graphs in indexmaker generated pages clickable ... leewm location sgp.hp.com added contributet script for gatherig portmaster stats added mrtg-blast contrib from Balthasar T. Indermuehle made mrtg observe order of routers in cfg file .... as suggested by Mick Ghazey Added GetSNMPLinesUP to contrib ... from Carlos Canau this is for monitoring Modembanks ...

Added rdlog2 by Phillip Simonet. This tool transforms a xfig network map into a clickable gif with colorcoded representation of the current load of your network links. The information for the colorcoding is taken from the mrtg log files. From: "Peter W. Osel" A perl script to get roundtrip delays to hosts by sending a ping to them. Added to contrib. Allowed any character except @ and \s to be used in a community string ... Fixed two instances where variables were declared twice (my($var)) within the same scope.
