Thanks to both Christopher Noyes and Daniel McDonald for helping me find the 
issue. 

First, the --snmp-options for cfgmaker didn't work, but it did work in the 
custom cfg file I created. Second, I had to increase MaxBytes to an 
astronomical number as it appears that while the servers numbers are increasing 
they do not reset, so my MaxBytes pretty sky-high. Third, the Target wound up 
being 

ipBytesIn.10.10.63.102&ipBytesOut.10.10.63.102:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:::::2

It didn't seem to like the numeric value for this information - for some reason 
it likes the name. Either way, it's working. 

Thanks!


Ken

  From your snmpwalk it appears you are using snmp v2 but you aren't in your 
cfgmaker statement.  Try adding --snmp-options=:::::2 to your cfgmaker 
statement. 
  This is from the cfgmaker on-line documentation:  
(--snmp-options=:[<port>][:[<tmout>][:[<retr>][:[<backoff>][:<ver>]]]])

  Greetings, all. 
    
  Before I get to my question let me say  MRTG is the greatest thing since 
sliced bread. I'm very new to SNMP, however, so  please be gentle. 
    
  Like the question asked earlier by  another list member, I'd like to use 
explicit OIDs to monitor bytes in and  out on Array Network machines from 
Fedora Core5. The command I'm using is   
    
  ./bin/cfgmaker -global 'WorkDir:/private-1/www/array' --global  
'Options[_]:bits,growright' --output /private-1/www/array/cfg/vip_in_out_6.cfg  
1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6\&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
    
  which throws the following: 
    
  --base: Get Device Info on  
1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:

1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:::::v4only

  --base: Writing  /private-1/www/array/cfg/vip_in_out_6.cfg 

  However, using snmpwalk by itself seems  to work. This might be expected, 
too, since I'm using a third-party MIB  file. 
    
  # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -u array 10.10.63.6  1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6 
  CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesIn.0 = Counter32:  2111313468 
    
  To test another method, I then created my  own .cfg file, which looked like 
    
  EnableIPv6:  no 
  WorkDir:/private-1/www/array 
  LoadMIBs:  /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CA-SNMP-MIB.txt 
  Target[r1]:  1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
  Options[_]:bits,growright 
  MaxBytes[r1]:  8000 
  Title[r1]: Bytes in and out 10.10.63.6 
  PageTop[r1]: <h1>Bytes  in and out 10.10.63.6</h1> 

  This generated graphs with no data, which  again might be expected since it 
was breaking earlier. 
  Since there are several IP addresses  load-balanced by these machines, I've 
also tried 
  Target[r1]:  
CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesIn.10.10.63.102&CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesOut.10.10.63.102:[EMAIL
 PROTECTED] 
  The log for the last try says "Argument  'v4only' isn't numeric in int at 
..." 
    
  Any ideas why this wouldn't work?  Any help you can give me is greatly  
appreciated. 
    
  Thanks 
    
  Ken 
    
  PS - the default scripts from the  examples on the site work just fine with 
these devices; i.e., the graphs  generated by the command 
    
  ./bin/cfgmaker -global  'WorkDir:/private-1/www/array' --global 
'Options[_]:bits,growright' --output  /private-1/www/array/cfg/mrtg.cfg  [EMAIL 
PROTECTED] 
    
  look great.
