[mrtg] Re: Disk-usage

[Adam Crosby]

On that note, (stupid newb question) does it matter if you start the OID with the leading '.' ?  I know that snmpget/walk both love the dot on the command line, but from experience (what little it's been), mrtg seems to sometimes want it, and sometimes not?  Did I miss a question in the FAQ?

Are you querying via MRTG using the OID or are you loading the 
MIB in MRTG?  If you are querying via the MIB (hrStorageSize...)
you need to do a loadmibs blah... in MRTG.  If you know the OID 
(much more efficient IMHO) use that rather than the MIB.

Hi
Whats the best way to monitor the disk-usage of a linux system (how much 
space is used or left) over SNMP?
I exactly followed the way (hrStorageTable) described in 
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/mrtg/ 
But mrtg tells me
"Unknown SNMP var hrStorageSize.101"
although it seems to be correct (didn't foget to put the right path to 
UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt into mrtg.conf)
$snmpwalk localhost public | grep hrStorageSize
host.hrStorage.hrStorageTable.hrStorageEntry.hrStorageSize.101 = 126692
host.hrStorage.hrStorageTable.hrStorageEntry.hrStorageSize.102 = 257032

I'm not even sure if these values are correct:
$df
/dev/hdb2             12207540   2064976   9522456  18% /
/dev/hdb1                46636      5957     38271  14% /boot

The dskTable-way also doesn't work on my system (ucd-snmp 4.2.3), if I 
put 
disk		/ 	100000
into snmpd.conf, snmpd crashes immediatly after startup.
Even values created by snmpconf cause a crash.
So whats the best way to monitor the disk-usage without a local script?
Thanks for any hints.
