It's actually much easier than that. You just need to set $BER::pretty_print_timeticks=0 and everything will be fine.

To graph hrSystemUptime, you need to call a script that will retrieve the value and convert it to an integer, like minutes, that mrtg can handle. I use the following script to do something similar with APC UPS runtimes, which are also timeticks. This is based on something in the mrtg contrib directory, but modified to use only perl functions for snmp rather than a system call to an external executable. It could easily be adapted to return hrSystemUptime formatted as integer minutes, hours, whatever. This script only converts hours and minutes, something that graphs hrSystemUptime would have to include the days in the calculation.

I "googled" all the afternoon but could find any valid nor working answer to my question: how is it possible to tell mrtg to use hrSystemUptime for monitoring system uptime ? On a console, if I go: # snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost host.hrSystem.hrSystemUptime.0 I get: HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (105259891) 12 days, 4:23:18.91 But I have no idea how to tell mrtg to use this. Thanks.
