I now have Host Resources Probe working fine. It confused me at first that the SNMP probe was in alarm because it wasn't receiving an SNMP response and then when it did it was still in alarm state because the 250 GB drive was 95% full but it is working and notifying perfectly! Even with that much data there's over 8 GB of free space available - how times have changed!
Is it showing you processor load? I'm used to the host resources probe showing something like the following for our Win 2000 & 2003 servers, but it doesn't pick it up from my OS X client machines although it does display disk usage.
Host Resources Processor Table Information Index Load 114 5% 115 3%
The last I knew, the SNMP agent used on Mac OS X is NET-SNMP. The FAQ for NET-SNMP contains this entry:
"Note that although the Host Resources table includes a hrProcessorTable, the current implementation suffers from two major flaws. Firstly, it doesn't currently recognise the presence of multiple processors, and simply assumes that all systems have precisely one CPU. Secondly, it doesn't calculate the hrProcessorLoad value correctly, and either returns a dummy value (based on the load average) or nothing at all."
As hrProcessorLoad is the OID that InterMapper queries to bring you the load information, you will see no information in the processor load section of InterMapper's Host Resources Probe when examining systems using NET-SNMP as the SNMP agent. (I've never seen the dummy value they mention, but apparently it's possible.)
