PPP (Point to Point Protocol) plugin
This plugin provides statistic informations from PPP devices.
Functions
ppp(key, delay) | gather PPP statistics |
'key' is either 'Rx:<n>' or 'Tx:<n>', where <n> is the PPP device number.
The 'delay' value specifies a period of time (in milliseconds) for a delta computation. If you use a delta of 0 (zero), you get the absolute values. For delay values > 0 you get the delta value in 1/sec unit. Using a delta value of 500 msec seems to be a good choice.
Note that the PPP plugin should be considered obsolte, for two reasons: First, the used system call seems to be quite slow, so this plugin burns a lot of cpu cycles. Second, the netdev-plugin provides the same (and mor) information. In short: Use the netdev-plugin!
Example
Widget PPP { class 'Text' expression ppp('Rx:0', 500) + ppp('Tx:0', 500) prefix 'PPP' width 9 precision 0 align 'R' update 200 }
