[mrtg] Re: Adding a mib file to MRTG?

[Paul C. Williamson]

You don't need to "compile" the mib for MRTG to use it...

You can make sure the values you are looking for by doing something 
like snmpwalk x.x.x.x public > text, then look in that file to see what 
MIBs are loaded on the device you want to query.

If they are there, you can do a LoadMibs: whatever command in the 
config file.  But know that anything you can get from doing a LoadMibs 
command, you can get from querying the OID directly, which is much 
quicker than querying through the MIB.

I have a mib file for hp-unix that I downloaded from inotech.com.  I wouldl
 ike to use this file with MRTG but I am not sure how to do this.  I haves
 een the option to add a mib file to the .cfg file but I thought that mibf
 iles had to be compiled before thay can be used.  I am including a snippetf
 rom the file.  I see no OIB translations in this file.  If I need to compile 
the file, how do I do it?

Here is the section from the file:

The rest of the file is the same.  I do not think that this file will work.

Thanks for your help,

Craig
