<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm looking into the possibility of using MRTG against a
Solaris SNMP agent (the basic Solstice agent) and I was wondering if people are
doing this already, and if so, what applications they've found it useful for?
Currently I can see mrtg being able to graph SNMP stats, interface traffic, and
so on, but I'd like to get more OS specific information like total CPU time vs.
Idle time. The Sun mib lets you see cpu time as an instanced mib where every
process on the system is listed. The problem with this of course is that it will
be dynamically changing as processes are starting and stopping. Is there any way
to 'alias' an executable name to a process, so you ask it to graph say
'application A CPU time' and it goes off and finds out what 'application A's
processID is to get the mib value? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm guessing this is probably a script hack but if there
are any sun mibs out there that may help I'd be grateful to hear of
them.</FONT></DIV>
