[mrtg] newbie question

[Ken Gibson]

Greetings, all.

Before I get to my question let me say MRTG is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm very new to SNMP, however, so please be gentle.

Like the question asked earlier by another list member, I'd like to use explicit OIDs to monitor bytes in and out on Array Network machines from Fedora Core5. The command I'm using is 

./bin/cfgmaker -global 'WorkDir:/private-1/www/array' --global 'Options[_]:bits,growright' --output /private-1/www/array/cfg/vip_in_out_6.cfg 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6\&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:public at 10.10.63.6

which throws the following:

--base: Get Device Info on 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:public at 10.10.63.6:
SNMP Error:

SNMPWALK Problem for 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 on 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:public at 10.10.63.6:::::v4only

WARNING: Skipping 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:public at 10.10.63.6: as no info could be retrieved

--base: Writing /private-1/www/array/cfg/vip_in_out_6.cfg

However, using snmpwalk by itself seems to work. This might be expected, too, since I'm using a third-party MIB file.

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public -u array 10.10.63.6 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6
CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesIn.0 = Counter32: 2111313468

To test another method, I then created my own .cfg file, which looked like 

EnableIPv6: no
WorkDir:/private-1/www/array
LoadMIBs: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/CA-SNMP-MIB.txt
Target[r1]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.6&1.3.6.1.4.1.7564.22.7:public at 10.10.63.6
Options[_]:bits,growright
MaxBytes[r1]: 8000
Title[r1]: Bytes in and out 10.10.63.6
PageTop[r1]: <h1>Bytes in and out 10.10.63.6</h1>

This generated graphs with no data, which again might be expected since it was breaking earlier. 
Since there are several IP addresses load-balanced by these machines, I've also tried 
Target[r1]: CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesIn.10.10.63.102&CA-SNMP-MIB::totalIPBytesOut.10.10.63.102:public at 10.10.63.6


The log for the last try says "Argument 'v4only' isn't numeric in int at ..."

Any ideas why this wouldn't work? Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ken

PS - the default scripts from the examples on the site work just fine with these devices; i.e., the graphs generated by the command

./bin/cfgmaker -global 'WorkDir:/private-1/www/array' --global 'Options[_]:bits,growright' --output /private-1/www/array/cfg/mrtg.cfg  public at 10.10.63.6

look great.
