Seriously, there are four main resources that a filer can run out of, and sysstat(1) reports on all four. They are:
- CPU - network bandwidth - disk bandwidth - caching memory
Therefore, I want MRTG and HP OpenView to pay attention to those 4 things. However, my look at the MIB doesn't really have those last two, and is slightly unclear about what the best variables are for the first two.
I'd really be able to better plan my purchases for the next year if I could have MRTG generate graphs of those four statistics for every Filer that I own. I could show a pretty picture to management and with certainty state, "...and therefore we can safely add more disk" or "...and therefore, you can't add more disk to this box; but another Filer."
Am I mis-reading the MIB or does the MIB fall short?
