Okay, so in retrospect, that wasn't very nice of me. I don't post for a couple of weeks, and then when I do it's a walkthrough in Cacti, a program that I've barely mentioned here before. Even worse, Cacti fits into the category of "arcane, even within the already esoteric Linux comminuty". While my walkthrough doesn't technically cover SNMP, it's almost pointless to expect somebody to understand Cacti if they don't know SNMP.

What I've decided to do to make up for this (to the geek crowd, at least) is write up a brief SNMP primer. I'm still pretty new to it myself, but what I've gotten into so far has proven to be relatively simple, once I got over a few basics that are kind of rough. Expect that primer to be posted shortly.

For those of you who come here for food, I'll try to post something for you soon too. I don't really know what yet. I'll figure it out.
