[mrtg] Re: using mrtg to monitor cpu and load

[Paul C. Williamson]

No hacking needed.  What kind of servers?  Netware, NT, Unix, or other?

Check out http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc or something like that.  Gareth
does an awesome job of spelling out what needs to be done.

Good luck and keep us posted.  Remeber that mrtg only needs numbers,
it can graph anything.  I'm thinking about replacing the Leibert dial 
temp/humidity monitor with a weather station in our computer 
facilities to get some added trending and accessibility features.  Now all
I need to do is figure out how to justify graphing wind speed in a room!

hi.  i've setup mrtg to monitor network traffic on a set
of production servers.  now it looks like i'll need to set it
up to monitor cpu, load and disk availability as well.
it doesn't seem that this is mentioned in the documentation.
someone online suggested that i'll have to hack up mrtg to
get that functionality out of it. 

surely this has been done before, and done right.  do you
guys know of any docs i can read to get me started? i am still
fairly unfamiliar with mibs - if someone has experience with
setting up mrtg with the net-snmp package (was ucd-snmp) to
do the above i'd love some pointers. 

thanks!
