[mrtg] Re: MRTG & AIX 4.2

[Rick Horowitz]

There is an /etc/mib.defs file on the AIX boxen.  However, I have been
unable to figure it out myself.  Right now I'm monitoring only packets
in/out (which my installatino of MRTG automagically set up).  I can't figure
out how to monitor the various kinds of errors, and (most importantly for me
right now) I can't figure out how to monitor disk usage.

If you can make sense of the /etc/mib.defs file, please let me know.  I
don't know if that's all you need, or if there's something else in the
equation.

The file in question has lines that look like this:

tcpEstabResets       tcp.8            Counter         read-only
mandatory
tcpCurrEstab         tcp.9            Gauge           read-only
mandatory
tcpInSegs            tcp.10           Counter         read-only
mandatory
tcpOutSegs           tcp.11           Counter         read-only
mandatory
tcpRetransSegs       tcp.12           Counter         read-only
mandatory
tcpConnTable         tcp.13           Aggregate       not-accessible
mandatory
tcpConnEntry         tcpConnTable.1   Aggregate       not-accessible
mandatory
tcpConnState         tcpConnEntry.1   INTEGER         read-write
mandatory
tcpConnLocalAddress  tcpConnEntry.2   IpAddress       read-only
mandatory
tcpConnLocalPort     tcpConnEntry.3   INTEGER         read-only
mandatory
tcpConnRemAddress    tcpConnEntry.4   IpAddress       read-only
mandatory
tcpConnRemPort       tcpConnEntry.5   INTEGER         read-only
mandatory

And this:

unix                 enterprises.4
agents               unix.1
fourBSD-isode        agents.2
mbuf                 unix.2
peers                unix.3
unixd                peers.1
smux                 unix.4
netstat              unix.5
print                unix.6
users                unix.7

There are hundreds of lines, but I don't know what this all means.  I'm not
really knowledgeable about SNMP/RMON.  (In fact, I don't even fully
understand the difference between the two, let alone how to use them.)

Also, I run my MRTG on RH 5.2, so I can't say anything about monitoring from
an NT box.

Is anyone using MRTG to monitor an AIX 4.2 box from an NT 4.0 box?  If so
could you please post the details on how to accomplish this in terms
understandable to a SNMP/MRTG newbie?  Thanks.
