Graphing temperature sensors

[BKesslerHHC]

After a few weeks of trying and then giving up, taking a few months off, and now trying again for a few days, I am having a devil of a time graphing a couple of temperature sensors. I've gone through the manuals a dozen different times, tried countless permutations of things, and have exhausted my considerable Google-fu.

I would think it's a simple thing, but I would be wrong. All I want to do is graph the data from the following OID map:

In particular, I'm trying to specifically graph the values represented by the strings in 1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.4.9.3.1.4.1 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.4.9.3.1.4.2. Alternatively, I'd be happy to graph the values in 1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.4.9.3.1.5.1 and 1.3.6.1.4.1.21796.4.9.3.1.5.2 if I can divide them by 10.

In either case, I am feeling completely clueless. Can somebody help me figure out or provide me with a step-by-step "how to" so I can accomplish my task, assuming I'm starting with a brand-spanking new Cacti installation?

I have a similar temperature sensing controller that I wish to monitor - were you able to compose a template?

Would be very interested on what you did.

Thanks,

If you have only one device, create a SNMP graph using the IOD you want.

Thanks, but I am looking to create a template so that we can monitor several devices of this type.

The devices have several ports (temperature, voltage, etc.) and I would like to select which port data to graph and have the graphs auto-scale, show a legend, etc. I would also like the option to select multiple ports to be graphed in one graph.

The MIB is pretty straight forward, but I am a new at Cacti and existing templates I have looked at are intimidating...

Number of ports <n>: 1 through 128
Description of each port for graph legend: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11476.5.1.1.2.<n> = STRING: "xxxx"
Value for port: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.11476.5.1.1.3.<n> = INTEGER: <value>

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe
