[mrtg] Re: temp monitoring config.

[Paul C. Williamson]

Jon,

What kind of system are you using as the monitoring platform? 

If *nix, can you run something like snmpget blah to obtain the results?
If Windows, can you either do an snmpget or use GetIf and get 
the result you are looking for?  I've often found loading the mibs 
just adds another step, further complicating matters that much 
more, so when trying to troubleshoot, you are always trying to 
figure out if you are querying the right MIB value in the first place.
Plus, it adds another layer of loading, so it conceivably slows 
down the whole process anyway.

Hello again..  
I don't think anyone is using the device I am, so I am just going to post
the request again along with the config and error..

My config:
{

LoadMIBS: e:\mrtg\cfg\temp\sensorsoft1.mib

and the error:

as it appears to me, that it cannot find the proper OID or isn't even
loading the MIB in the first place..  

anyhelp would be greatly appreciated..
