Its all been asked and answered before :-) Being quite interested in this as well, went to search the archives and for something that's been "asked and answered before", am having a fun time trying to find it :) One thing I'm interested in doing is monitoring something that I'd figure would be simple: loadavg. But, snmpwalk on my machine (ucd-snmp 4.0.1 isntalled) reveals very little information other then those that appear to deal with the network, where there is oddles of info ... I'm lookign through the ucd-snmp web site right now, adn the EXAMPLES.conf file that comes with the distribution, but would think stuff like: % swap usage % cpu usage loadavg would be of interest to others, no? I'd like to avoid re-creating a wheel that someone else has already done, if at al possible...? Marc G.
