I can successfully walk the tree of data that I want to poll from my
mrtg machine on the machine that I need to monitor stats on. The
exact values that I need to poll are in the ifEntry sequence within IF-
MIB on the machine to monitor. snmpwalk shows that the values I need
are in ifInDiscards, ifInErrors, ifOutDiscards, ifOutErrors, and
ifOutQLen (attributes 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 of the ifEntry sequence),
specifically the .2 and .3 of each of them due to the interface
numbering.
I'm having a very hard time finding documentation on 2 things here
that I still need to accomplish:
First, constructing the OID or MIB string to access these specifically
(or perhaps they are accessed via IF-MIB::ifInErrors.2, IF-
MIB::ifInErrors.3, etc for mrtg's configuration, I really haven't
found anything in documentation about it yet).
Second, actually creating the configuration options for mrtg which
will poll this information for me. I haven't even been able to find
any resources that specifically state how to poll a given OID.
I'd appreciate any tips, help, or references to documentation that may
help me understand these issues better. :)
Thank you much!
