s o l v e d ! write permission for rateup.exe - was: Getting MRTG to work
|
It seems it took Tobi Oetiker, author of MRTG, two iterations to get this bug
fixed. No more error messages now with version 2.17.2, tomorrow I'll try to achieve a contiuous operation. So, after all, all is well. Thanks to David and Giuseppe for their "quality time", as Tobi put it for the time he invested in debugging. Cheers, U.

From the MRTG-homepage:
Changes 2.17.2, 2011-02-20 -------------------------- From: Tobi * can not replace a file by renaming another to its name under WIN32 fix in rateup #104 http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/pub/CHANGES It seems it took Tobi Oetiker, author of MRTG, two iterations to get Just FYI Cheers, U.

It seems it took Tobi Oetiker, author of MRTG, two iterations to get this bugI checked and it's 2.17.0 I have on the 64-bit Win-7 PC, so should I have seen the problem as well, Ulrich? I'm slightly surprised that a stable component which has been in so long (i.e. rateup.exe) needed modification - FYI mine is 2220.208 bytes, and dated: 09:15 (UTC) 2010-Dec-15, and there is no built-in version information (right-click, Properties, Details tab).

From the MRTG-homepage:Amazes me that in /any/ operating system you can simply overwrite an existing file by doing the operation: rename <my-new-file> <your-existing-file> Oh, well!

Ulrich,
I'm glad you solved the problem. Unfortunately I couldn't follow evolution because some hectic days about a serious family problem, now going to solution. I always try to face life in optimistic way.

Amazes me that in /any/ operating system you can simply overwrite anDavid, exactly my thoughts. I guess that that's to be understood as a macro standing for something like { rename <existing> <sorted_out> rename <new.tmp> <existing> delete <sorted_out> } plus some if_error-workarounds... It ran overnight here now in the daemonized version (of course I had yet to try that last night), and the results look pretty much like the ones on your collection page. I am still not sure about the scaling of the dvb-traffic graph. It either looked like a fine scottish golf green or like a corn field on dope. I scaled it to 48 Mbits/s now which seems to catch peaks and still shows enough detail. I understand that all these values are average counts, so, the single fast burst won't appear, right? I'll be back with more questions, hopefully not about external bugs... Cheers, U.

David,Well, what ever, it is (to me) at such a low level of code that I would not expect it to be changed. Oh, well, it's fixed now. And from your previous comment, it's possible that the problem only shows under Win32, and that the same code runs OK under Win-64. It ran overnight here now in the daemonized version (of course I had yet toI let the traffic graphs auto-scale. The values on the day graph are totals over a 5-minute period, so they are really bytes from T to T+5, but displayed as bytes per second, i.e. bytes / 300 for the five-minute updates in the Day graph. There is an option to show peak values, but I've not played with it. As MRTG only wakes up every five minutes to read the counters, I don't think that peaks could be shown within that period. In case I didn't mention it, there is a difference between the DVB World USB box which records all the data on selected PIDs, and the SkyStar PCI card which only records data from channels enabled in recv-channels.ini.

Yes, it means that the graphs aren't strictly comparable between stations, but the lack of throughput /is/ immediately obvious.In case I didn't mention it, there is a difference between the DVBI found out about it after re-enabling Ch.5 BTW, did you compose the collection using mrtg's indexmaker utility?I just edited HTML, and later PHP, to make my combined pages, if that's what you mean.
