find out what info you really need from your system. I.e. from a database your 
would like to know the number of accesses, from a firewall the number of 
ACCEPTed/DROPed/REJECTed packets or from a web server the number of accesses.

From any system you would like to know processor load and free disk %. Get 
these OIDs and monitor it with nagois.
