[mrtg] Re: Calling MIBs

[Barakat, Mehmet-Hasan]

Peter,

Thanks for the info. I have Getif on a Windoze box, and I can browse the MIB
fine. I get .1.3.6.1.4.1.1718.3.2.5.1.6 correlating to
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.serverTech.sentry3.systemTables.te
mpHumidSensorTable.tempHumidSensorEntry.tempHumidSensorTempValue but down in
the frame, there are two values that pop up when I hit Start :

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.serverTech.sentry3.systemTables.te
mpHumidSensorTable.tempHumidSensorEntry.tempHumidSensorTempValue.1.1 *and*
.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.serverTech.sentry3.systemTables.te
mpHumidSensorTable.tempHumidSensorEntry.tempHumidSensorTempValue.1.2.

Is this what you mean when you say "instance"? I need the info from the
second one, which is the temperature.

If I append the original entry up top to add in the suffix .1.1 or .1.2,
Getif fails to retrieve the value - it only likes it when I leave it as
.1.3.6.1.4.1.1718.3.2.5.1.6.

Any clues? I'd like to browse the MIB from my RedHat MRTG station - any
recommendations on what to use? 

-H

The above OID is listed in the MIBs, but does the box support it?
Walk the MIB (eg using GetIf) and see what is there. That will also show
the correct instance number if needed.

PS. You do not NEED a MIB in MRTG.
A MIB merely translates Name to OID number
eg ifInOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10
So if you wish to specify the Name on the Target line, MRTG needs to have
the MIB to translate.
If you are going to specify the full OID, Mrtg does not need the MIB.
