SNMP OIDs

Hello All,

I am working on a project that uses rrdtool (similar to mrtg) to generate graphs of various performance statistics. It works just fine, using perl modules to grab the SNMP stats, imports into these small rrdtool databases and exports these to the web (gifs).

However I am having a hard time locating the full numeric OIDs when using a snmpget function (acutally using perl SNMP module). I am familiar with snmptranslate that comes with the ucd-snmp package, however I can't seem to find all the OIDs I need to poll. I have a copy of the HP-UX definitions for unix agents, but can't seem to figure out how to translate these english names into the full numeric OID. The ucd-snmp package only gives some of the SNMP enligsh names and not the full HP OIDs.

So, I'm asking all you SNMP experts out there, where to find the full numeric OIDs?

I also have one other question regarding these metrics that I'm polling. CPU load average polls and archives fine and I can even create the pretty looking graphs (that those manager types just love), but I don't know how to present this metric on a 100% scale. Is there any other OID out there that will show the percentage used of the combined processors? I'm looking for a metric like sar outputs, but I would like to grab this via SNMP.

Any help would be greatly appericated. Thanks.
