I guess I was thinking originally that you'd find the snmp configuration
more useful than anything really related to Nagios on that page.  Nagios
itself doesn't do graphing but some addons can utilize Nagios data to
produce graphs.  If you can successfully use snmpwalk on the remote system,
then at least you know snmp isn't the problem and you might not find that
article very useful.
