[geeks] MRTG

[Shawn Wallbridge]

I found a page at (http://www.ansdell.demon.co.uk/networks/monitor.html)
that lists some MIB's for HP printers (1.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 ), but
they don't say anything about our model.

Honestly, I don't know squat about SNMP, I just used the config file creator
(cfgmaker) to make the stuff for MRTG. I have been reading the mrtg docs
trying to figure out where to put the MIB in the cfgmaker command, but what
they say to do doesn't seem to work.

Here is the config file I have working for the printer that is currently
monitoring the throughput.

Probably is.  Do you have the SNMP MIBs for the printer, so that you can
find out what it actually reports?  They should be available from HP's
website, someplace.  After that it's just a trivial matter of putting a
couple of things into mrtg.conf, and telling it what to call the graph.
