Hello,

Is there an OID for the total number of processes runing on a linux box?

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses holds that data

Is that via snmp to/from a remote machine, with snmpd running? or rather the local machine? I was trying to get the info from a remote machine.

That doesn't matter as long as the HOST MIB is supported on the target, be it localohost or remote

Ok, great thanks, I'll give it a try.

Hello,

OK, I'm not convinced that HOST-MIB is supported in snmp-net (fedora 6), as asking for the number of processes does not produce any results, just a falt line, humm

Is there anyway I can prove this. i.e. by using snmpwalk with the correct OID, whatever it is.

Sure:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -c ... -v 1 localhost hrSystemProcesses

Thanks, that worked a treat, so it looks like the snmp agent is working fine.

Then, please use the "Host MIB - Logged In Users" Graph Template for those hosts
