MRTG

I have seen some posts that state that Orion can do the same thing as MRTG and related class of software. I have a couple of MRTG templates that we use to measure the RSL on some microwave links.

Does anyone know how to properly convert the mrtg template to a udp? (im not so savvy with snmp, and when I look at it, i cant get what I think it should be).

any pointers helpfull.

TIA!

MRTG graphs just use snmp to fill in the information. Just model them into NPM and you will get the same results. You can look in the cacti graphs and find out what the mib numbers are. It depends on what all you are looking for. NPM can get a bunch of basic stuff without having to customize.

What are you trying to add? some will need you to put the SNMP destination of your Solarwinds boxes into the config. But like I said it depends on the type of device you are trying to add. can you even add them into NPM or is it failing?

I am not having much luck getting this to work, but it could be because I just do not really know exactly what I need to do. I am still looking at it, but I think I have the UDP set correctly - now to figure out what "option" to put on the nodes detail view.

We have a couple of Western Multiplex Tsunami Wireless Bridges that we have another (competing?) software measuring the RSL values. I think it uses a MRTG tempalte (at least, thats what this software calls it).

This is what I am trying to convert:
