I would suggest you use 'type' (the DOS equivalent of the UNIX 'cat' command) rather \
than 'more' in the Target definition.  Also check the output of MRTG when run \
interactively to see if there are any error messages being produced. Finally, check \
the format of the file -- are the lines ended with \n or with \r\n ?  It should be \n \
although I believe the DOS method should work as well.

Hi, I am trying to monitor the number of calls recorded on a server, I have
managed to extract data to a text file which complies with the MRTG external
source format. The data below is an example of a text file

102
102
geonbsvr2a
Verint Call Recording

I have then created a mrtg config file as shown below

Target[geonbsvr2a]: `more c:\mrtg-2.16.4\bin\verint\geonbsvr2amrtg.txt`
Maxbytes[geonbsvr2a]: 390
...
Options[geonbsvr2a]: gauge

However when I run the perl script e.g. perl mrtg verint.cfg i just get 0
output in the log file. even though the input file has data. Can you assist?
