This is pretty simple actually. You create a subclass for devices you'll want to poll in this way, then create your own Template. Create an SNMP datasource, input the OID. Then create the datapoint in the datasource, and make it gauge I believe. Then go back to the template level, create a graph, and use the datasource_datapoint you just made. Only thing is you'll need to know RRD a little to get the graphs just so - by default it does some averaging so you'd get odd values like 0.88 or such . . . between a 0 vs a 1.
Searching the forums will show some threads I've had for printers and pages/5 minutes that get into some graph definitions for set values, but I really don't understand that part yet. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University shadus wrote: > I think the issue I'm running into with finding the solution for this problem > myself is terminology.
