That was exactly the problem I faced with cacti, mrtg and other pollers,
and that's one reason why I wrote my own (the other major reason is
performance). It's called rrdbotd:

It lets you poll a URL that looks like:

snmp://public@example.com/jailInOctets?jailHost=jail.example.com


See 'TABLE QUERIES' here:

In addition rrdbotd can do crazy stuff like track the same jail as it
moves across multiple machines. See 'MULTIPLE AGENTS'. We use quick
failover migration of jails.

Cheers,
