Monitoring OID Error

Hello all,

I am somewhat new to using SNMP with Linux. I have looked through the
Net-SNMP site and I have found that it isn't comprehensive, so I am hoping
that someone can help me with this.

Here are my stats:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
Net-SNMP 5.3.1 -- Compiled From Source

I am trying to use the Disman monitoring, to monitor changes in specific
values (The documentation says that it can do this), however I am getting
this error when starting SNMP:

Nov  7 23:05:44 vmtadclx04 snmpd[23505]: /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf:
line 42: Error: unknown monitor OID
Nov  7 23:05:44 vmtadclx04 snmpd[23505]: net-snmp: 1 error(s) in config
file(s)
Nov  7 23:05:44 vmtadclx04 snmpd[23505]: NET-SNMP version 5.3.1

Here is my config file:

#Create the groups, communities, and security groups
#       sec.name        source          community
com2sec QTS             localhost       vmtadc
com2sec QTS             xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  vmtadc

# Only return v2c to the poller
#       group.name      sec.model       sec.name
group   ReadOnly        v2c             QTS

#        inc/excl       subtree                         mask
view all included      .1                              80

#                 context sec.model sec.level match  read   write  notif
access ReadOnly    ""     any       noauth    exact  all    none   none
#access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all    none   none
#access MyRWGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all    all    none

#List of processes to monitor:
proc httpd 3 2
proc mysql

#load averages for one, five, and fifteen minute values
load 30 15 5
authtrapenable 1

#Set up internal monitor for the agent to check specific values
# you must specify createUser, iquerySecName, rouser for this directive
createUser    _internal MD5 nextel0079!
iquerySecName _internal
rouser        _internal

# Here are the OID's that we want to monitor, when things go over these
variables, we should get a trap!!
#monitor -u _internal -o hrSWRunName "high process memory" hrSWRunPerfMem >
10000
#monitor -u _internal -o memErrorName -o memSwapErrorMsg "memory"
memSwapError  != 5

monitor -u _internal -r 60 -e SwapUsage -o hrStorageType.3 -o
hrStorageDescr.3 -o hrStorageUsed.3 !=0  #<-- This is the line where the
error occurs

notificationEvent SwapUsage hrStorageUsed.3

#set up the trap community, and where to send the traps.
trapcommunity vmtadc
trapsink xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx

What I am trying to do here is monitor the change in Swap Usage so that the
agent will send a trap when a server starts using it's swap. If I uncomment
the other monitor directives, I get the trap alerts, interesting huh? I am
also interested in using the "monitor" command to find a process that is
using to much CPU and either kill it and restart it. If anyone has an
example config file that uses the Disman extensions (i.e. monitor, etc ... )
please send me some examples.

Also, I have yet to find decent examples or documentation on Net-SNMP that
is complete and consise, could someone point me to a site that could explain
a little better than the Net-SNMP site? Please help if at all possible, as I
am completely lost, what I have come up with so far is from what I have
found from either the net-snmp site or bits and pieces scattered around the
internet including this mail group.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

Mark
