Hullo :) I've been reading, googling and experimenting with this for a couple of days now, with no success, so I'm turning to you nice people for help :)
The 'ssCpuRaw' sample at http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/mrtg/ works fine, but I'm really after the general load average, rather than a snapshot of how busy the CPU was at that moment. I've been using mrtg.conf snippets like this so far: Target[loadavg]: laLoad.1&laLoad.3:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[loadavg]: 2000 Title[loadavg]: pod - load average YLegend[loadavg]: loadavgProc. x 1000 ShortLegend[loadavg]: Legend1[loadavg]: Load average 1 min Legend2[loadavg]: Load average 15 min LegendI[loadavg]: LegendO[loadavg]: Options[loadavg]: growright,gauge PageTop[loadavg]: <H1>pod - load average</H1> But the graph is always zero - I've even tried using the numeric OIDs thusly: Target[loadavg]: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1&.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm aware that I could use a local script to parse /proc/loadavg but I want to deploy this style of monitoring over a cluster of webservers , and ultimately reconfigure a load-balancer depending on the various sysloads. But back to the problem ;) I'm quite able to see the loadavgs using snmpwalk: pod:/etc# snmpwalk localhost public laLoad enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1 = 0.77 enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.2 = 0.49 enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.3 = 0.33 and numerically: pod:/etc# snmpwalk localhost public .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3 enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.1 = 0.68 enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.2 = 0.49 enterprises.ucdavis.laTable.laEntry.laLoad.3 = 0.33 My snmpd.conf is superficial - a single line containing "rocommunity public localhost." MRTG itself is 2.9.17 from Debian woody. I've also tried "LoadMIBs: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt" at the top of mrtg.conf - but it made no difference. I am of course deleting the old /var/www/mrtg/*.log files and waiting 10 minutes in between each test for mrtg to gather new data. If anyone has some ideas about this, I'd be very grateful to hear them! Kind regards, Gavin. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
