I'm not really sure how to use cfgmaker templates. I'm kinda learning these 
things as I need them. Is there a way to just plug in an OID or something?

If you are using SNMP, then the cfgmaker generic host template available at 
http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker will do the trick nicely. 

Make sure you use the 5-min load average, not the 1-min or 15-min, if you are 
polling at 5-min frequency (but use the 1-min if you are polling at 1-min 
frequency, of course) 

If you cannot use SNMP, then you might like to use the Nagios NRPE agent with 
the check_load plugin, then use the mrtg-nrpe plugin for MRTG to allow MRTG to 
query the values fomr the Nagios agent. mrtg-nrpe is in the 'extras' directory 
of the standard Routers2 package from http://www.steveshipway.org/software - 
this is the way we do it here.

I'm trying to monitor the load of some Linux servers. I've tried a number of 
different scripts and can't find anything with the glorious Google method. Does 
anyone have a working method to monitor load on some Linux machines?
