Hi,
Did the update overwrite your snmpd.conf file? The 'view' on the default one may not permit access to the things mrtg needs to see. Try changing it to .1 to expose everything.
It might have done so. To be honest I have no idea since I've never touched the SNMP configuration before this and simply used the default. Currently there's nothing inside the snmpd.conf except a rocommunity which is the public user.
I've added lines from an online source that claims that is the default snmpd configuration and it looks like it should be allowing view all to the public user. In any case, even prior to adding these lines, I could get the relevant values off SNMP using command line with the public community user, so I don't think I was blocking any thing iv SNMP
Just a couple of random suggestions...
One of the things I always do after patching a box is do an 'updatedb', followed by 'locate rpmsave' and 'locate rpmnew'. Then I resolve the differences.
The other suggestion comes from a recent experience I had when updating a box running cacti. Did the upgrade, then cacti broke completely. Turns out that I didn't have the default fonts that cacti expected. I ended up having to install dejavu-lgc-fonts from rpmforge to resolve it. Why do I bring this up? Because cacti depends upon rrdtool, just like mrtg...
