It was actually pretty easy to do. I found a good link. Then I just had to setup SMTP on the 2003 server. I think you need to get an ethernet MIB from your Network card manufacturer. At least that is what I did. I don't know if that is required though.

Perhaps you could share with us the source that you learned from so we to can learn from it :D

i took an easy way to monitor my home router bw. Since i already had Mrtg installed on my fdc box, i edited the cfg file , to poll my wireless router for snmp/MIB info and then plot the graphs for me. Gotta love the Linksys WRT54GS router with 3rd party firmware

*sorry for sidetracking*

I was planning on sharing but really busy with the new server. :)

I followed that link.

Before you configure mrtg you need to add SNMP to the Windows 2003 Server...

Add Remove Programs
-> Add Remove Windows Components
->-> Management and Monitoring Tools
->->->Simple Network Management Protocol

Once you have it installed you need to configure the service...

Services -> SNMP Service -> Properties

I don't know if this has to be configured exactly as I did it but this is how it is working for me

For the Agent Tab I selected all the Service Options...

Physical, Applications, Datalink and subnetwork, Internet, and End-to-end

Nothing on the Traps tab

Security Tab
Send authentication trap
Add community name it public and make the rights READ ONLY (unless you want other people to be able to configure your devices via SNMP :D)
I accept SNMP packets from localhost and the ip address of my server

Once I installed my MIB for my network card (which you might or might not be able to find from the card manufacturer - mine was available because my card is a server class network card) I then ran the mrtg configuration based on the commands in the link I posted above. It finally worked after I got the SNMP configured correctly on the server.

It may or may not work for you or anyone else. I don't know. :cool:
