I would like to know if it is possible with mrtg to not log the data on certain moments. This because every day There is made a backup of the server and the transfer of the backup goes with 8 Mbit/sec.

Though I normally only use 100-200 kbit /sec so my mrtg stats aren't very useful (all i see is the peak of the backup transfer). Is there a way to avoid this? Without using anothger nic to transfer the backup.


A alternative to mrtg is also welcome,

In mrtg.cfg, if you set the MaxBytes to whatever your normal peaks are, say a little higher (500kbps), it will tell mrtg to ignore any data higher than that. Then you won't have those huge peaks, they will be "chopped" off at your MaxBytes setting.

Thanx I'll try that :)

Damn and I overlooked the manual 5 times, :bawling:
