Installing Novell MRTGEXT
More information
MRTGEXT was originally written as an NLM for Novell Netware to obtain values used with the widely known MRTG (predecessor of cacti), but it can also be used to poll values from op5 Monitor.
Installing Novell MRTGEXT
To install this extension, simply copy the MRTGEXT.NLM to each NetWare server's SYS:SYSTEM directory that you wish to gather statistics from. Then edit the server's AUTOEXEC.NCF to “LOAD MRTGEXT” so it will load each time the server is restarted.
The MRTGEXT.NLM has three command line switches available:
-port=<port>
will change the port that MRTGEXT listens on for statistic requests. By default, MRTGEXT will use port 9999. For example, to have MRTGEXT use port 1023, add -port=1023 to the load line. If you change the port number on the command line, be sure to modify the perl script as well.
-debug
will enable some debugging output to the System Console screen. This is only really useful when you are first configuring the extension.
-mla=<license>
For those with an MLA license (mostly for NetWare 5), the MRTGEXT.NLM currently can not obtain a valid value for the server license count. Using this option will tell the MRTGEXT.NLM the license count max to report. This is important if you use the NWEXTCFG.PL to create configuration files or if you use the servstat.pl script. For example, if you have a NetWare 5 MLA license and you really only have a 100 user server, then you would add -mla=100 to your load command line.
