Combining different data in one gprint or comment

[wvr120364]

Hello,
I've written a perl script that feeds the following data into cacti:

Code: Select all

uptime_sec:12345678 days:2 hrs:14 min:32

So far so good, i created the data source for uptime_sec and graphed it with a cdef funtion to display the uptime in days.

My question is, is there a way to combine the other values into one comment or gprint so the uptime is readable in the following way:

Code: Select all

Uptime (syslog): 2 days, 14 hrs. and 32 min.

I searched the forum for this and could not find a solution for Windows, just a patch for *nix.

Thanks,
Wietze

There's a Template for Generic - Uptime on the forum. It solves this issue by converting the seconds to days, minutes, seconds using three different CDEFs and printing the according GPRINTS in a single line. Not exactly what you asked for, but a possible workaround ...
