I have snmpd and mrtg running and reporting against my Cisco router. What I want to do is to configure snmp so that I can monitor network traffic across the host's own eth0 NIC. Is this even possible for a generic NIC running on a x86_64 or i686 host?
Shouldn't be a problem since I was monitoring my server's own NIC traffic and load with MRTG before it stopped working. If I'm not mistaken, it's a matter of configuring snmp to check localhost in addition to your router's IP.
