I am trying to monitor Disk usage over SNMP using MRTG on CentOS5.2. I'm open to any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this (I would also like to do other metrics like CPU). Please don't assume I know anything about MRTG.

I am using the following config:

LoadMIBs: /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt,/usr/share/snmp/mibs/TCP-MIB.txt
workdir: /var/www/html/mrtg/temp/
#
# Disk Usage Monitoring

YLegend[servername.]: used disk space
ShortLegend[servername.]: % used
Legend1[servername.]: usage

LegendI[servername.]: usage
LegendO[servername.]: usage
routers.cgi*Icon[servername.]: disk-sm.gif
routers.cgi*Options[servername.]: noo,nomax,noabsmax
Unscaled[servername.]: dwmy

I receive the errors:

Unknown SNMP var dskPercent.0
 at /usr/bin/mrtg line 2035
Unknown SNMP var dskPercent.0
 at /usr/bin/mrtg line 2035

From forum surfing etc the suggestion is to use the fully qualified OIDs, I'd like to avoid this (for readability). So essentially I'm wondering where can I find a mib file compatible with mrtg for it's reference or a working config file.
