Hi, 

Does anyone could tell how to monitor the CPU utilization on soalris 8
via SNMP? I've enabled the snmp agent "snmpdx" on it, but I can't get
any CPU parameter via SNMP, only can get the standard MIB-II by using
the "snmpwalk" tools. However, I can find the CPU OID in the MIB file,
and it is specified with "Sun Extension" keyword. please tell me how
to enable it? Any informaion would be appreciated.

Many Thx.

Dick.

There is a special MIB implemented by SUN in the snmp, i don't know
the version but it doesn't matter. I found the MIB in some repository
site... i browsed it and the CPU monitoring values were the only ones
interesting. Here is my MRTG conf for it

Solaris is a replacement for the hostname and keep in mind that the
config is scaled for a dual CPU.

Have fun staring at the graphs.
