what should i check ? thanks

do you have snmp server running on the target system (from your post it seems you are trying to monitor the same system that you are running mrtg on)? You can check whether you have installed the net-snmp packages (rpm -qa|grep net-snmp).

yes i have snmp installed :
net-snmp-5.1.1-2
net-snmp-utils-5.1.1-2

i'm trying to run mrtg on the same linux box.

check whether the snmpd daemon is running

#service snmpd status

ensure the directory /home/mrtg/cfg exists.

Hi

code :

WARNING: Skipping public@localhost: as no info could be retreived

code:

This simply shows that either your snmp is not running or it is not started .Please start your snmpd if not running or kill the current process if it is running and restart it.
