[mrtg] Monitoring Windows disk free space and named OID's

[Stuart Kendrick]

hi amos,

you have some other sort of syntax error in your config file ... i 
predict that even if you replace hrStorage.1 with the OID, you would see 
a similar error message.  if you would like further assistance, i 
propose that you post some portion of your config file

here's a snippet from my config file, monitoring hrStorage on a box

that being said, i've had trouble persuading MRTG to use Object Values 
(i.e. hrStorage) as opposed to OIDs (the string of numbers).  one has to 
list all the MIB files, with their dependencies, on the LoadMIBs: line, 
and figuring all that out has defeated me on several occasions

so my approach is to include a commented out Target line showing the 
Object Values ... and then the real Target line employing OIDs

here's how i translate Object Values into OIDs:

desslok% snmptranslate -On -IR hrStorage.3
desslok% .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6.3

hth,
