mrtg ethernet traffic & free memory
hello, We are new to the Total Controls and have been using Portmasters. We have been searching the manuals, the Internet and the maillist archives (through google searches) but have not found the answers for some questions. We are trying to get mrtg information on the ethernet traffic on the HiperARC card and the free memory on the Total Control. We saw a posting previously by Lewis Bergman in which he posted his .cfg information. We have tried implementing it and have been successful at retrieving the number of modems online and the temperature of the Total Control. We are not getting the ethernet traffic nor the free memory to come through. Is there a different OID that we should be using or any other mistake that someone sees in what we are using? (We have made sure that each line does not wrap in the .cfg file itself.) Below is an excerpt from our .cfg file for the free memory and ethernet traffic: #--------------------------------------------------------------- Target[3comTC.priv]: 3:COMMUNITY@X.X.X.X MaxBytes[3comTC.priv]: 1250000 Options[3comTC.priv]: gauge, growright Title[3comTC.priv]: TC1 (HiperARC): Ethernet priv (X.X.X.X) PageTop[3comTC.priv]: <H1>TC1 Traffic Analysis for Ethernet priv (HiperARC X.X.X.X) </H1> <TABLE> <TR><TD>System:</TD><TD>TC1</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Maintainer:</TD><TD>Maintainer</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Interface:</TD><TD>Ethernet Driver (3)</TD></TR> <TR><TD>IP:</TD><TD>No hostname defined for IP address (X.X.X.X)</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Max Speed:</TD> <TD>1250.0 KBytes/s (ethernetCsmacd)</TD></TR> </TABLE> #--------------------------------------------------------------- Target[3comTC.ram]: 1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.3.1.3.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.3.1.3.0:COMMUNITY@X.X.X.X MaxBytes[3comTC.ram]: 100000 AbsMax[3comTC.ram]: 262144 Title[3comTC.ram]: TC1 Free memory on HiPerARC (X.X.X.X) PageTop[3comTC.ram]: <h1>TC1 Free memory on HiPerARC (X.X.X.X)</h1> Options[3comTC.ram]: gauge, growright YLegend[3comTC.ram]: Kbytes free ShortLegend[3comTC.ram]: Kbytes free LegendI[3comTC.ram]: sys-mem: LegendO[3comTC.ram]: real-mem: #---------------------------------------------------------------

The HiperARC and the NMC will have different IP addresses (and possibly different SNMP communities) -- the ARC has the Ethernet statistics in the expected place (e.g. mrtg's cfgmaker will have no problem finding them), and the best way to get those numbers will be from the ARC directly instead of the NMC (the ARC also has the number of connected clients somewhere, I don't have the OID handy.) The NMC will allow you to proxy your SNMP request to another one of the cards (I can't remember the syntax off the top of my head, but it was something like setting the community to slotid@yourcommunityname), but it'll be more efficient to query the card directly unless there's something that prevents you from doing so. I can dig up the OID for connected users and probably the snmp proxy syntax if you can't find them, but the info shouldn't be too difficult to find with a lead.
