snmpwalk -v 2c -c <communitystring> <server.address> That will connect via SNMP to <server.address> and list all the SNMP MIB entries that it knows about. You can redirect that to a file (> snmp.txt) or just pipe it through grep (| grep 64). You can tell it to "walk" portions of the MIB space, so that it only shows you certain entries. If you want to see everything in the if* MIB, then use: snmpwalk -v 2c -c <community> <server.address> if Look for entries like Counter64. Those are 64-bit counters. Compared to Counter32 which are the 32-bit counters. > Polling: > Do I just need to change my crontab entry to every minute instead of > every 5 minutes or do I need to change more? > Thanks and sorry for beginner questions. The lowest poll interval that standard MRTG logging can handle is 5 minutes. If you want to go below this, you have to change the MRTG LogFormat to rrd. This turns MRTG into *just* a data collector. You cannot use standard MRTG to *view* the data collected in RRD format. You have to install and use a front-end like mrtg-rrd, 14all.cgi, routers2.cgi, and similar. There are links and details on this available on the docs page on the main mrtg site. That's where I learnt everything regarding mrtg, rrd, 64-bit counters, and so on. I started out with mrtg-rrd, moved to 14all.cgi, and have settled on routers2.cgi as the graphing/viewing front-end. -- Freddie [email protected] _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
