[mrtg] Monitoring CPU Utilization on a CentOS Machine

[Steve Shipway]

You might like to take a look at the cfgmaker host templates available at http://www.steveshipway.org/cfgmaker -- this includes several templates for servers that set up appropriate MRTG configurations (including stacked graphs using Routers2, if you have that) for multiple or single CPU hosts.  Might be what you're looking for.  The 'Host template for all servers and devices' probes the host for different providers MIB entries and configures an output appropriately.

I love how I can scour the internet for 2 weeks trying to find the answer and all I had to do was ask the right people.  That worked, thank you very much.

Now, for the n00b questions.  SNMP is worse than programming to me, it doesn't make sense and I am way too ADD to be able to sit down and figure it out.

Where can I find these OIDs?  I have Zimbra on that same machine and I'd like to monitor much more stuff.

I noticed that the title reads "2 CPUs".  Is it a problem that the machine only has one CPU?  I tacked the same method on to localhost which is a dual core and the graphs look the same so I'm curious as to which line stands for what.
