Did you install SNMP and the appropriate MIB's on the target system? You
won't get any information unless that step is done. What is the OS on the
systems you're trying to monitor?
The MIB browser in WUG really stinks. You should try using Getif. You'll
find Getif and a lot of SNMP information on this site...

I went through the same thing you're going through and this site helped me.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitoring System Variables Using SNMP
Afternoon,
I've seen and tried to follow the various messages passed along through this
list about monitoring disk space, CPU usage, etc, but I'm still not much
further ahead. I've downloaded and extracted the MIB files, but what next?
I've installed the SNMP Threshold monitoring tool, but I don't know what
Object ID to monitor. I've tried using Net Tools to troubleshoot the OID's
and see if I can even get a value out of it, but I can't.
I need some sort of middle step, because I'm lost.
Thanks,
