[mrtg] Re: hacking cfgmaker

[John W. Bankson]

	I used the GetIf MIB browser to find the OIDs and so far all of my
Compaq servers have returned the correct memory values.  Another note on the
memory OIDs, originally I had thought that the physical memory and the
paging memory were exactly as they sounded, but the paging memory OIDs are
actually the physical memory + the paging memory.  Therefore, I mainly use
the paging memory OIDs to track my memory usage (This is the OID that is
used on the Integrated Management Displays for % Mem Utilization on Compaq
Servers).  I guess the physical memory OIDs are useful for knowing when to
add more physical memory to your servers.

	What type of Compaq server(s) are you using, and what version of
SmartStart do you have loaded (I have it working with 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9)?

Thanks, John!

I actually printed have your posting from 10 Oct where you listed these OIDs

sitting on my desk.

I have been able to get the CPU Util and % Disk Spaces Used from our Compaq 
Insight Manager agents. But the Physical Memory values don't return. Reading

Compaq's MIB it says:

  DESCRIPTION   "Available paging memory (in megabytes).
             A -1 will be returned if this value could not be determined."

I guess on my boxes, the value could not be determined.

Was there anything you had to do to get those values? Any suggestions on how

I should hold my mouth <G>?
