OID or not OID, that is the question...
The best way is to use a program that can browse the mib table (???) of the
device you want to monitor using SNMP.  I use getif (NT)- do a search on
Google... or I have seen a program for *nix called SNMPWalk I think - but I
have not used that one.

And last but not least, I would be neglecting my responsibility as a
faithful MRTG list reader/replier if I were to omit the most often used
phrase on this list...  Here goes.... wait for it... wait for it.....

RTFM

ahh, wasn't that fun :)

oh, and also search thru the list of sites on the companion link off of the
mrtg home page.  Good info there for RTFM'ing.

Hello all,
	I'm new at mrtg and well snmp too. I know what I need just not how
to get it. MRTG is up and running and I'm monitoring my in's and out's, but
I'd like to monitor other things. I know you have to get the oid's, but my
questions is how do I obtain them? (Besides asking you guys & gals all the
time. )
