Hello.
I'm using "check_netint.pl" aka "check_snmp_netint.pl" for network traffic monitoring.
The plugin works fine, but if I add the "-m" or "-mm" options (minimize/minimum queries) I got no PNP graphics. Error: no xml file is created.

this is the performance output without "-m" / "-mm" options (PNP works fine):
'GigabitEthernet0/0/1_in_octet'=6836631772c 'GigabitEthernet0/0/1_out_octet'=79562367274c ptime=1559574104

this is with "-m", which is the same as with "-mm" (no xml/rrd file is created, so PNP doesn't work):
'GigabitEthernet0/0/1_in_octet'=6836687027c 'GigabitEthernet0/0/1_out_octet'=79562570344c cache_descr_ids=6 cache_descr_names=GigabitEthernet0/0/1 cache_descr_time=1559572395 ptime=1559574194

does some of you know how to make PNP work with "-m" / "-mm" options?

thanks and regards,
Federico

One thing to note, if you ran it once and an RRD was already created, you need to remove the RRD because it will have a different amount of datasources if you add -m or -mm

The RRD's are a fixed size once created, so you cannot change the command after it creates the rrd

Hello. Thanks for your reply and your help!
no xml nor rrd files previously existed and no xml nor rrd files are generated using the -mm option.
but you gave me an hint, so I tried the following thing: I removed the "-mm" option from the command definition, waited a few minutes, confirmed both xml/rrd files were there, readded the "-mm" option in the command definition, waited a few more minutes.
result: those xml/rrd files created without the -mm options aren't updated anymore!
I suspect that "service_perfdata_file_template" should be adjusted to be used with -mm, but I could be wrong.

I would need to see the fill output when running with the -mm command

is the output in the proper format (including output|perfdata)? e.g. per
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200

Also, does this have the same amount of datasources and when you ran without the -mm ? the RRD's definitely will not update if they have different amount of datasources.
