Are you using mrtg on top of hobbit for monitor the interfaces? If so, then you do something like this:

In hobbitgraph.cfg, under the mrtg section put: TITLE exec:/usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/mrtg-title.sh (or whatever path works for you)

Then in mrtg-title.sh do something like this: #!/bin/sh HOSTNAME="$1"; shift GTYPE="$1"; shift LEGEND="$1"; shift RRD="$1"; shift MRTGSET="echo $RRD | sed -e's/\.rrd$//'" MRTGTITLE=grep -i "Title\[$MRTGSET\]:" /usr/local/mrtg/cfg/devices/$HOSTNAME.cfg | cut -d: -f2- echo "$MRTGTITLE $LEGEND" exit 0

You may have to modify it a little if you don't have seperate mrtg config files for each device.

Greetings, all.

We had been using Big Brother until our server hardware died a few months back, and we decided to upgrade to Hobbit. We monitor over 100 servers and about 90 network devices with it.

Is there any way to get Cisco interface descriptions to show up on the graphs in the Trend column? We managed to get the interface name to appear, but we'd really like more control over how things are labeled. i.e . we'd like the interface name AND its description to appear. Where they appear on the graph is not that important.

Thanks,
