[Bigsister-general] snmp based cpu monitoring on 0.99b2?

[Matt Kettler <suppressed>]

Using 0.99b2 I'm having trouble getting snmp based monitoring of a remote 
host's CPU to work in a reasonable fashion.

Let's say I have a pair of example netware boxes, and localhost. netware1 
is a single CPU netware box, netware2 is a dual CPU netware box, and 
localhost is a single CPU linux box.

So I create these DESCR statements:

DESCR           features=local,unix,linux               localhost
DESCR           features=remote,netware                netware1
DESCR           features=remote,netware                 netware2

Both netware boxes respond to snmpwalk for processor load:

$snmpwalk netware1 public hrProcessorLoad
host.hrDevice.hrProcessorTable.hrProcessorEntry.hrProcessorLoad.1 = 0

$snmpwalk netware2 public hrProcessorLoad
host.hrDevice.hrProcessorTable.hrProcessorEntry.hrProcessorLoad.1 = 30
host.hrDevice.hrProcessorTable.hrProcessorEntry.hrProcessorLoad.2 = 3

Now if I try to use "load" to monitor netware2 and netware1:

	netware1 	load		
	netware2	load		

I get the same load average for both boxes. Highly unlikely.

Now if I try "cpuload":

	netware1 	cpuload	
	netware2	cpuload

I get output for localhost's "top" command for both. Including claiming 
they are running uxmon, and netware2 only shows 1 cpu. Clearly not right.

I do get reasonable numbers from directly calling snmp with type=cpu:

	netware1	type=cpu snmp 	
	netware2	type=cpu snmp

However, this doesn't graph, and occasionally the SNMP query fails creating 
a bogus "netware1.snmp" with a purple status.

In 0.99b2 is there any way to correctly query processor load via SNMP and 
graph it? I do prefer the behavior I get when I don't call snmp directly, 
and instead call storage, etc and let the test call snmp due to the DESCR 
containing remote. Several others seem to just use "cpuload" under 0.98, 
but that seems to not work at all for me in 0.99b2.
