If it has an snmpable stat, you can do something with it, so its a matter of
graphing what is useful to your enviroment (or what looks cool in your noc
(if you have one)).

i'm polling about 500 devices now and I'm not even 1/2 done configuring
it...  Eventually I'm gonna be sending out some setups around the world to
watch my sites from the outside but I haven't started setting that up...:

Currently I'm using NT for most of the items, but I do have specific items
running under linux just because it was easier to set it up then to convert
the scripts.

My biggest words of advice:  It MUST MUST MUST run within its interval (5
minutes), your going to find yourself with multiple config files and running
it several times.  

Get yourself a test machine to play with new oids and equipment, nothing
like messing up your stats just because your testing a new mib or device.

My wish list seems to grow faster then what I get setup and working.

Hi,

I am fairly new to mrtg, and am very impressed. I've set up some basic
polling of Cisco devices, and haven't had any problems to date.

I'd like to know what some other mrtg users configurations are like -
specifically hardware specifications (I'm running on NT) and number of
polled devices.

I plan to poll 120 routers for the following stats using 5 staggered cfg
files (running one minute apart):

*	ifInOctets & ifOutOctets every 5 mins
*	Ping times (using mrtg-ping-probe) every 5 mins
*	Cisco avgBusy5 (CPU Util) every 5 mins
*	Cisco CRC & Aborts every 5 mins
*	Cisco free Memory every 2 hours
*	Cisco IP accounting data (using whodo) every 30 mins

Is this configuration realistic? Are the snmp requests likely to overlap
polling intervals? Any other suggestions?

I will be running on a Windows NT Pentium II 400. 

Regards,
 Matt Moore
