Column name is defined by the bb*svc and bb*altsvc tags in your MRTG configuration file.

The purple is more concerning. If MRTG is in fact updating, then there's a good chance the script is not looking at the right logs.

Hi all, I’m using Hobbit with MRTG and have it set up with the bb-mrtg.pl script. It is looking quite nice, the network admins love it, but today on the non-green view page I had a server pop up with a column for “traffic” being purple, and when clicking on it it brings me some switch details being populated in via MRTG.

That was a bit surprising, I hadn’t seen a “traffic” column anywhere else, and my first guess was that the IP for the server and switch may have been accidentally entered as the same, but they weren’t. The switch is also reporting in via MRTG, the data is updating every 5 minutes even though it is showing as purple. I’m about at the end of my troubleshooting thought process, has anyone seen something like this before?

Thanks,
