\OverTime\cfgs
This directory holds the sysName.mst files. Each sysName.mst file is a
plain text file and has the following format:
The first line is the IP address of the device that OverTime will use
to communicate with the device and identifies the device. This is not user
configurable.
Each subsequent line is formatted depending on the collection being
monitored.
For I/O collections the format is: Interface# code maximum“title
Interface# is the numeric SNMP interface number (Not user configurable)
Code is an indication of the type of information being collected for
this interface (Not user configurable). For I/O, the four possibilities are
0 = this interface reports I/O and Error I/O
1 = this interface reports I/O only
2 = this interface is Cisco Average Busy 5 CPU usage
3 = combine the following interface traffic (used for ISDN B channel
combinations)
maximum is the bandwidth limit in bits per second of this interface or
100 for CPU (can be changed by the user).
title is the title for the graph after a leading ‘”’ (can be
changed by the user).
For non I/O collections the format is in groups of lines. The first
line for the group has the format: MibName code maximum “ylabel”title
MibName is the name of the MIB being collected as found in
snmpCol.conf.
Code = –1 for a user define collection and –3 for a PingTime
collection.
maximum = the threshold found for this collection and determines at
what value in the graph the threshold line will be drawn (can be changed by the
user).
“ylabel = the ‘”’ indicates the start of the Y axis
label used in the graph (can be changed by the user).
“title = the second ‘”’ indicates the start of the
title for this graph (can be changed by the user).
each subsequent line has a configuration for an instance that will be
drawn on this graph. An empty line indicates the end of the group. Each of
these subsequent lines has the following format: Instance# -2 “legend
Instance# = the SNMP instance for this MIB in this device (Not user
configurable).
“legend = The ‘”’ indicates where the legend
commences. The legend is used as the graph legend for this particular line (can
be changed by the user).
\OverTime\data
This is the directory that houses other directories that in turn house
the RRD data files. The directories in this directory are named after the
sysName for the device being collected. Within each sysName directory are RRD
files that are called sysName.xxx.rrd where xxx depends on the collection being
done.
