Under my Cisco 3005 VPN concentrator, under the perconf tab, I copied it
locally and added my datasource and created my graph.  The datasource I
created is called alPptpStatsActiveSessions with an OID of
1.3.6.1.4.1.3076.2.1.2.3.1.9.  The datapoint is called
alPptpStatsActiveSessions with the type set to gauge, and all else
defaults.  I created a graph called Number of PPTP Active Sessions, with
a datasource of alPptpStatsActiveSessions_ alPptpStatsActiveSessions,
and everything else set to defaults.  Using the proper mib file and the
above OID from the zen server I can snmpwalk the device and get back the
correct values.

Once you import the MIB you don't have to leave it in the directory.
However, I'd recommend that you do in case future MIBs require it to
be present for their import. Yes, it would also be good practice to
put it into your Net-SNMP mibs directory.

Could you give me some more details on the OID and what template you
defined it in? I'm thinking that maybe Zenoss is accessing it using an
index, and it isn't an indexed OID or visa-versa.
