Feature Request (other sources of data)

[Livio Zanol]

Is there possible to have another source of data instead of an RRD?
Like defining a bash(or perl, or php) command?

Example:
TARGET `snmpget(192.168.0.1,public,1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.4)`

It would be quite usefull for some applications.

Yes it is since 0.9.

The target you want is the last one TARGET !scriptname

The script should return 4 lines: in value, out value, and two others which are ignored (this is so that existing MRTG scripts can be used).

One thing I just realised is that the script currently can't take any parameters though This particular plugin hasn't been tested too much

For your specific example, there is also an SNMP datasource plugin, although that again hasn't been thoroughly tested, and when I tried to use it myself for interface status (opStatus/adminStatus) I found that PHP's snmp functions are not so great, and not very consistent between versions and platforms.
