It seems it's not possible to monitor kvm virtual image network interfaces via SNMP. MRTG's cfgmaker says

### The following interface is commented out because: ### * has no ifSpeed property

I had the same issue, but only with some of my virtual machines. I found that the Network adapter needed to be changed (or rather removed and a new one added) from type "flexible" to "E1000". Doing that with the machine powered off, it kept the same MAC address. Then the SNMP works / sees the ifspeed correctly.

I set up a new vm for testing and yes, this seems to work.

Thanks, Joe!
