Hello all,

I'm using the Perl/MRTGEXT.NLM combination designed for BigBrother to monitor NetWare systems (it's all I could find). My problem is that the system on which I'm testing frequently changes between "purple" and "green/yellow" statuses for the items it's tracking. This happens about every five minutes, which is to say it spends 5 minutes in the "purple" status for the MRTGEXT.NLM based tests, and 5 minutes or so in the normally reporting states.

I've tried playing around with the interval settings, to no real avail, but I'm not sure I know 100% what I'm doing.

Any help is greatly appreciated...Also, for what it's worth, here's some possibly relevant config entries:
