I've been doing quite a bit of work (for fun) on getting SNMP monitoring updated to include all my devices attached to the network.  I was using mrtg before, but now I'm upgrading to rrdtool.  Slowly. =)

In particular:

  • My WRT54GS (version 1.0) was upgraded to ddwrt for SNMP support.  This took some time to do properly, and for me to test for stability.  It was key that there be no impact on my existing production environment.   (I've been holding out on the retail firmware...)  The latest v23 SP1 was finally deployed on the device today (Aug 17th).
  • My Dell PowerConnect 27xx switch is now also supported
  • Started playing with WMI collection to my Windows servers to collect more information, beyond the NIC information.

I'll post some more details later =).

I just got a PowerConnect 2724, and I'm trying to figure out if I can pull stats into MRTG for it (I know, MRTG is so oldschool). Have you had much success pulling stats from your 2716?
