SNMP Questions...

[warcrow]

Hi guys!

I'm setting up WUG (What's Up Gold) and am very new to configuring monitoring software. I have several years of monitoring experince, but it's mainly client side and with the HP Openview suite.

Anyways, I'm setting up a test machine (my workstation) and am attempting to enable SNMP (which I beleive I've successfully done). I set up a read only community string. I (think) I configured the monitor correctly, but I'm not sure I really know what is going on here.

I did check out the WUG forums, but they're extremely barren:

...as you can see, most of the post don't even have any responses to them, ugh.

How do I get this thing working correctly? I searched this forum for "SNMP" and there were a few interesting post, but nothng matching what I need.

Thanks in advanced.

The question is what do you want to monitor via SNMP, most SNMP daemons export a lot of information. All you really need to do is know the MIB of the value you want to watch.
