[mrtg] Re: could use snmp help for a beginner

[Mike Starkweather]

Raymond,

This looks like a simple CFG file error.  At face value it is saying that
your directory for this target does not exist.  You need to create the
directory since MRTG will not.  The directory will be "Workdir"/"Target
Directory".

However the message was strange enough I am wondering if an asterisk in the
community string is not causing a problem.  Try running without the asterisk
and see if MRTG is happier, that is if the directory does exist.

Finally, verify connectivity with the target device outside MRTG if you are
uncertain whether you can contact it.

1.  Ping the device
2.  SNMPSTATUS (UCD SNMP package) or SNMPUTIL WALK (NT Res Kit) the device

Good luck,

Mike Starkweather
