[mrtg] Re: ucd-snmp and CPU Load Average (RH6.1)

[Joey Officer]

I had a similar problem when I was monitoring CMU and had to switch to UCD.
If I remember correctly, the value that UCD returns requires that you add
the gauge option to the MRTG config file. Something else to try is to do an
SNMPGET on the oid for CPU load and see what the value returned is, make
sure you are getting proper numbers.  Lastly, please post a snip of your
config file so we can poke at it as well...

Hi Everyone

Recently I upgraded an older RH to the new RH 6.1, which comes with
ucd-snmp, as opposed to cmu-snmp in the former. It gave me quite some
troubles, due to changes in OID's for disk-monitoring, the fact that
ucd-snmp checks /etc/hosts.allow and so on. Almost everything is back
online though, expedt one thing - monitoring CPU Load Average.

This should be possible to do directly from the OID - I use
.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2 and .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6.0, shown in same graph (the
later is number of processes and works fine) - but it the first one returns
nothing.

Anyone have an idea? I know this is not strictly an mrtg issue, but I've
been following this list for a while and not the ucd-snmp list - so I hope
I'm forgiven and that someone knows the answer.
