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

[tom carlile]

thanks paul,

looks like that site would be more helpful if i was using a Windows
platform.  i compiled mrtg and the net-snmp packages on Solaris 2.7
machines.  his unix configuration section is very sparce.

i basically just need to find how to setup those stats to be 
provided by the net-snmp daemon and how to tell mrtg to collect them.
can anyone else suggest anything?
