SNMP monitoring of HPUX

[rmueller58]

All,

our Net OPS guy had MRTG setup on a box, I want to be able to use MRTG to graph performance on my UX system.. We have an N Class system with Quad CPUs, 6gb or so of RAM, 2 SC10 disk enclosures.. Would like to monitor and graph CPU, Memory, disk. the net ops guy has been tinkering with OIDs and such. He's been able to run getif against the UX server we want to monitor. Is there any good info on how to setup an MRTG cfg file that would be fairly straight forward? Any thought or experiences appreciated..

Here's an example config file for monitoring those metrics on Linux: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/mrtg-advanced.htm#_Toc92809290

You can probably use that, but I'd cross reference the MIB values with the HP-UX MIB, described in /var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/Hewlett-Packard/hp-unix on systems with HP Openview products installed.

Greg,

I will review it..

We do not have OV installed on this particular system, snmpd is running, we've been able to get the CPU to be queried from MRTG, however I cannot get the memory yet.. We need an OID for our system memory.. Any thoughts? ?

Geoff, we will test the OID info in our MRTG configs.. Aren't running MRTG on my UX box, it is doing snmp gets from the box ..
