[mrtg] Re: Fwd: Newbie - Problems with CPU, memory, swap on Compaq Deskpro

Jan,

Thank you for helping me!

I didn't know I had a MIB-browser, but on the internet I found the
following command, which I tried on my system: (maybe you know a better
one...??)

# snmpget -v1 -c public localhost ssCpuRawUser.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawUser.0 = Counter32: 219726

# snmpget -v1 -c public localhost ssCpuRawSystem.0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawSystem.0 = Counter32: 42828

# head -n5 cpu.log
1111585802 220831 42760
1111585802 1 1 1 1
1111585645 1 1 1 1
1111585500 1 1 1 1
1111585200 1 1 1 1

As you can see, the values are not exactly the same, but they are pretty
close to each other...

Isn't it strange that the other values of the file are all set to "1" ??
Because this is the value I see in the graph all the time...

regards/groeten,
Corstian
