I've got a text file that gets updated via script with an integer.

The script basically counts the number of rendered frames our of our farm and then dumps it into a text file on a daily basis.

Is it possible to read the last line of a text file and then add it to a graph?

if you already have a script reading the data and dumping it into a text file, why not changing the script a little and use it directly with PRTG?

please take a look at

It's a linux shell file so ideally I'd like to just read directly out of a text file rather than trying to get windows to ssh and exe a shell script.

The text file is incredibly simple, here's an example;

899 1945 1235 1853

Each number is produced every time the script is run via a daily cron.

Possible to just read the last line and graph it?

Maybe it's possible to adjust the script so that the resulting File will be "compatible" to the File Content Sensor.

aha. That looks like something that'd work.

Appreciate it
