You can do simple queries with snmpget like I do to get page counts from printers: echo `snmpget -v 1 -c public kem5100 -Oqv .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.43.10.2.1.4.1.1` `date` >>kem5100.log (It's on one line). Do you have a MIB file for the device? Else you would have to use snmpwalk and a bit of guessing to get the OID correct. You can also use MRTG to collect the data and have them displayed graphically.
