I have an sdnm,pget statement that retrieves the CPU Load. I want to mi0nitor one item in this out stream to to tell me I/O Wait on the CPU.
Here is the output of the snmpget statment
sphinx:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 172.xx.xx.xx .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssIndex.0 = INTEGER: 1

UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssRawSwapIn.0 = Counter32: 31
UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssRawSwapOut.0 = Counter32: 93
The line UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawKernel.0 = Counter32: 3456124 is what I want, but I don’t understand this format. What the hell is Counter32 data, and how do I interpret that number? Any help is phenomenally appreciated.
