System information

I had the same behavior, your fix seemed to make it work right.
BTW I made some other hacks on the nmis I like to share:
1-Multithread collection and update - I believe it was on the TODO list.
To use it just add the option "mthread=true" on the nmis.pl command line for
the types update and collect.
It will make nmis.pl to fork one instance for each node.
It should be warned that it is resource consuming, I had to increase my host
memory from 64MB to 192MB to avoid swapping. But I achieved a performance gain
from 6 to 1 minute to collect from almost hundred routers
2-Fix for 3Com routers wich describe virtual interfaces with the same string as
the actual physical interface. Because of this, all frame relay (I think X.25,
ATM and ISDN also) interfaces were not correctly collected or displayed. Now
they are hard-coded to be interpreted as virtual interfaces.
3-Fix for groups and devices summary statistics when some item have "nan"
value. The fix were also applied to some reports. I believe that almost all
cases are treated correctly
5-Display the IP addresses together with devices in large dash. And, for the
large dash the telnet url uses the IP address, rather than host name (it avoid
problems in networks that don´t use DNS records for routers and switches). I am
working on using this feature on the other screens and reports.
6-The options to change files and tables are hidden in nmiscgi.pl. I didn´t
anyone messing around with them without root access to server. I know that by
default there are no permissions for this to happen, but it made the dash
screens lighter.
Attached is a diff file. I am sorry to not have one diff for each feature.
I want to hear your impressions.
regards,
Guilherme Chehab
