Snmp - How do you use yours?

[Hari Sekhon]

Hi all,

   I've decided to add snmp monitoring to my nagios setup. I'd like to 
know what you guys and gals are monitoring using snmp out there.

It seemed like a lot of work to get in to, but I think this was just the 
effort of trying to piece together the "documentation" for net-snmp to 
figure out how to use it.

So, now I have an idea and have snmpwalked my agent, I'm left with a big 
long list of OIDs that I'm not sure are very useful. Ok, all the 
tutorials show uptime, which is the agent uptime rather than the system 
uptime but in a few months when the servers are rebooted hopefully this 
will be the same. So what else can I do with it?

Can I extend it to export an OID for some test that runs locally on the 
system?

I need help and ideas please?


Thanks
