My 2 cents on the OID issue: Here's what I use in mrtg.cfg to get the number of current users: Target[tcpool]: .1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.2.1.10.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.2.1.10.0:public@ arc1.tidewater.net + .1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.2.1.10.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.429.4.2.1.10.0:public@arc2.tidewater .net This checks two different HiperARCs and adds the totals together. The hiperarc.mib file says the OID I'm checking is: usrUserManActiveUsers OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "The number of active users" ::= { usrUserManGroup 10 } I could not get this to work with snmpget, but snmx (a command line snmp tool) lets me get there using UNIX-like commands.
