RE: MRTG

["Cary Pembleton" <carywinton@pctechhelp.net>]

Alejandro,
The normal SNMP string used for gathering data from a network device is just
"public" with no quotes. This is the default and is used to merely "read"
the data, so there should be no security risks, so your ISP probably left
this in. You might also need the MIB's for the particular device your
wishing to monitor. Doing an Internet search for MIB's under the device name
should get you what you need.
Respectfully,

I don't have any problems with it there.
