[mrtg] How to monitor non SNMP Device using MRTG

[ashok kumar]

Hi again Dumani,
Thanks for your reply. In my previous reply I was more concerned about the
remote system monitoring rather than my sytem. But you just mentioned about
that in your last line like "Remember you can execute commands remotely via
ssh or rsh so you can make load average graphs of other systems as well" which
means that we can have mrtg to be running on remote machine and if you want
to get that graphs you have to use httpd service. Isn't it?
But my concern is about having all those data on my system(server) so that I
can view the graphs at anytime and maintain log files on my system rather
than running mrtg and maintining all the data in respective systems.
Is it possible without snmp enabled on my client machines?
