Jerry is probably right.  I had just thought you tried to query these OIDs with that "snmputilg.exe" utility,
verified the correctness of the responses, and then put those OIDs into the MRTG cfg...

The OID's you are trying to graph aren't supported on a standard W2K
installation. They require the installation of the perfmon snmp extensions,
which isn't supported by Microsoft at all on W2K, and isn't supported
anymore by Microsoft on NT.

If these servers are from a major manufacturer such as Compaq, IBM, Dell,
etc. your best option is to use the hardware management agent OID's provided
by the manufacturer. For example, for a Compaq server running the Insight
Management agents, you could use a target line like:

MaxBytes[_]: 100
WithPeak[_]: ymw
Unscaled[_]: ymwd
Suppress[_]: 
Options[_]: growright, gauge, withzeroes, nopercent
YTics[_]: 10
ShortLegend[_]: % CPU
YLegend[_]: Processor Load
LegendI[_]: CPU % 5 Min:
LegendO[_]: CPU % 1 Hr:
Legend1[_]: Processor Load % 5 Min Ave.
Legend2[_]: Processor Load % 1 Hr Ave.
Legend3[_]: Peak Processor Load % 5 Min Ave.
Legend4[_]: Peak Processor Load % 1 Hr Ave.

# CPU util. thru CIM mibcpqHoCpuUtilFiveMin and cpqHoCpuUtilHour
# One target per CPU

Target[CPU0]:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.3.1.1.3.0&.1.3.6.1.4.1.232.11.2.3.1.1.5.0:
Title[CPU0]: Processor Load Statistics for Processor 0 on
PageTop[CPU0]: Load Statistics for Processor 0 on

If using these agents is not an option, then for W2k you could use the Host
Resources MIB statistics. The CPU stat is more limited, giving the average
over the past minute. The OID for the first CPU is .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.3.1.2.1

Subject: [mrtg] CPU utilization graphs


Hello everyone, Happy New Year.
This is my first post so please be gentle!
 
I have been using MRTG to monitor my WAN traffic for 4 months without any
issues. What a great tool!  Now i want to use it to graph CPU and
(eventually) disk access times on my WIN2K servers.  I have been reading as
much information as i can find on the web but i always come back to the same
error messages:  
 
WARNING: Skipping Update of localhost.processorload, outlast is not defined

I used a small program called snmputilg.exe to get the relevant OID's, and
here is my config file:

 </TABLE>
 
 
For the moment i am trying to get it working on the localhost, but it fails
the same way on other servers.  SNMP is running in all cases. 
 
Please help, i have been banging my head on this for a week.
