LinuxQuestions.org - MRTG config sanity check

Hello,

I have been trying for hours to get this MRTG graph to work, with no success, so it's time for me to step back and ask for a fresh set of eyes.

What I'm trying to do is graph the number of Web site hits in the past 5 minutes. Here is my script that does so:

Code:

alucard@piett:~$ cat hits.pl

#!/usr/bin/env perl



use strict; use warnings;

use LWP::Simple;



my $data = get("http://127.0.0.1/server-status?auto");

$data =~ /Total Accesses: (\d+)/;



print "$1\n$1\n";

Here is the output:

Code:

alucard@piett:~$ perl hits.pl

2570

2570

As you can see, it works there. Here is my mrtg.cfg:

Code:

YLegend[hits]: # Hits

PageTop[hits]: <h1>Site hits for piett</h1>

  <p>Total Web site hits per interval</p>

MRTG is running, but the hits graph is not working. I ran indexmaker and you can see the MRTG page *edit*. The graph is being changed every five minutes (the date changes), but no data points are being graphed.

Can anyone see what I'm missing? How can I debug this further?
