Loading MIBs in hpux

[Sabin Mathew]

I was working with mrtg to monitor the disk usage in Hp-ux.
Could I know how I can load the mib /opt/OV/newconfig/AGENT-MAN/snmp_mibs/hp-unix

[Geoff Wild]

Add it to the top of your mrtg.cfg file:

LoadMIBs: /opt/OV/newconfig/AGENT-MAN/snmp_mibs/hp-unix

Thanks for the reply.

I have added this line to the top of the .cfg file.

But when I run mrtg, it gives snmp error, unable to poll the OID that I specified.

Thanks,
Sabin

[Geoff Wild]

What are you polling for OID...

Here's how I do it (though I don't use the OVO mibs - but it may help):

more mrtg.cfg
EnableIPv6: no
LoadMIBs: /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt
WorkDir: /htdocs/mambo/mrtg/
Options[_]: bits,growright

Thanks again for the reply.

Here, the scenario is, mrtg is installed in a test server and I need to monitor the file system usage of another server in the production environment.

I created a .cfg file using the cfgmaker and it worked well for the network monitoring part.But for the filesystem monitoring, I am stucked up..

I just added the mib in the .cfg file and still its giving snmp error.
Please find below the error messsage.

I'll try those mibs tomorrow when I'm at work....

Couldn't get it to work - saw this on the net:

http://www.admins-tipps.net/management/mrtg_hpux.txt

AT the bottom, it mentions using a tool like getif to get the actual numbers for the disks...

Rgds...Geoff

[Sabin Mathew]

Thanks again for the reply and info.
I was just exploring the URL you provided; could see a getif install file.

" Following is a sample for the drive allocations. You must find out
the numbers yourself."

Does this mean, we need to find out the actual disk usage percentages or what? I am confused what does this 'numbers' mean..

Thanks,
Sabin

[Geoff Wild]

I believe - those are the disk id's...

Rgds...Geoff

[Geoff Wild]

Wow - getif seems to work - yet I can't make heads or tails of it...

Example, found this:

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.hp.nm.hpnsa.hpnsaStorageCap.hpnsaSCDrv.hpnsaSCDrvTable.hpnsaSCDrvEntry.hpnsaSCDrvCurrentAvailable

.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.23.15.3.2.1.12

But, I get nothing when I connect...tried version 1 and 2c:

# snmpget -v 1 -c mysnmp myserver .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.23.15.3.2.1.12
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
