I always feel using SNMP to access data on the local machine is a waste
of resources. I run MRTG on a few Linux boxes and just pull the data
from /proc to feed to MRTG without the need for another daemon running.
On my FreeBSD box I'm using rrdtool with something along the lines of:
for i in fxp0 vr0 wi0; do
DATA=`netstat -b -I $i | awk '/Link#/ { print "N:" $7 ":" $10}'`
rrdtool update $i.rrd $DATA
done
to actually capture the data rather than bothering with SNMP.
