[mrtg] Need some help

[Layne Meier]

I am trying to use MRTG to monitor a Cisco ONS (Optical Network  
Switch).  This ONS is a carrier class switch used in  
telecommunications.  The ONS is sitting on an OC-48 sonnet ring and is  
tied to an identical ONS at our remote location over an OC-3 overlay.   
The OC-3 overlay is a 155Mb connection.

I downloaded the Cisco SONNET mibs from Cisco's website and used  
cfgmaker to make a configfile with a statement to Load MIBs using the   
LoadMIBs: /location/mibname.mib line file for this ONS box.

If I look at the config file, I get the following:



# Created by
# /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir:  
/usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG' --global 'Options[_]: growright, bits'  
--global 'Unscaled[_]: ymw' --global 'Refresh: 300' --global 'Interval:  
5' --global 'WriteExpires: Yes' --global 'LoadMIBs:  
/usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ 
mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET- 
MIB.mib' --dns-domain=coxnews.net --community=***** --show-op-down  
--no-down fcpp-ons


### Global Config Options

#  for UNIX
# WorkDir: /home/http/mrtg

#  or for NT
# WorkDir: c:\mrtgdata

### Global Defaults

#  to get bits instead of bytes and graphs growing to the right
# Options[_]: growright, bits

WorkDir: /usr/local/www/ITWeb/MRTG
Options[_]: growright, bits
Unscaled[_]: ymw
Refresh: 300
Interval: 5
WriteExpires: Yes
LoadMIBs:  
/usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-CAPABILITY.mib,/usr/local/mrtg-2/ 
mibs/CISCO-SONET-EXT-CAPABILITY.mib,/
usr/local/mrtg-2/mibs/CISCO-SONET-MIB.mib

I find it quite interesting that cfgmaker created a complete config  
file for this ONS box, but commented out every line because "The  
following interface is commented out because: * has a speed of which  
makes no sense".

Any suggestions, or any one else using MRTG to monitor commercial grade  
telco equipment?
