Hi, >> http://ruleoftech.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/quick-howto-setting-up-snmp-and-mrtg/ Unfortunately the examples here didn't work either. MRTG keeps complaining that the variable are unknown in SNMP debugging.
I eventually discovered other people with similar problems and could only be resolved by using the numeric OID instead of the easier to remember names. Now the problem is figuring out how do get MRTG to display the values as expected. Along the way I found this pretty nice guide for MRTG http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch23_:_Advanced_MRTG_for_Linux However, following the examples there and adjusting them to fit my peculiar setup, I find that MRTG is still not showing the values as expected. If I use laLoadInt, MRTG apparently treats it as some decimal value, so all I ever see is a load of 1%. If I use laLoad, I get 0% throughout If I use ssCpuRawUser or something, I get a something 10x what I expect Still experimenting with different formulas to see if I can finally get something sensible to show up. [whine] This has taken so much time, I'm almost about to just write a PHP script to grab values from an exec("snmpwalk") and dump them into a mysql database. There might be a chance I get that done faster than figuring all the nuances in the MRTG and SNMP interactions. :( [/whine] It just doesn't make sense that I have to jump through so many hoops just to get MRTG to work by default. Surely there must be just one single error in the very early stage that I could correct and viola MRTG works without anything else in the cfg file? _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
