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

[Craig A.Sharp]

Paul,

I was able to do an snmpwalk on the server but the entries in this mib file 
do not exist in the mib on the server.  HP told me that this mib file must be 
loaded into the monitoring software (mrtg) and not on the server itself.  
This is where I am confused.

If I were to query the server with the OID's, how would I figure out the OID 
for the entries in the mib file?  I need to get values such as load averages, 
disk utilization, etc...

Thanks,

Craig
