  * use v7 (11/13/08) for Ubuntu 9.10 server w/cacti **8.7d**

  - enable and configure SNMP on Windows host (must be **before** SNMP Informant installation)
  - install and configure SNMP Informant software
  - copy snmp_informant*.xml files to /usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/
  - import host and graph templates via cacti web UI

  * for packet graphs, had to edit **data sources** after graphs were created and change the dropdown for Custom Data | Output Type ID from ''W32 - Network Statistics (Packets)'' to ''Network Statistics (Packets)''

=== MIB configuration ===
When adding a new MIB to the system, it is necessary to compile/translate it into a human readable format to make messages displayed by CaMM easier to interpret.
  - copy MIB file from vendor to /usr/share/snmp/mibs
  - type: **export MIBS=ALL** to ensure all the mibs will be read in by snmptranslate
  - run **snmptranslate** on directory & look for errors related to the MIB you added
  - if ok, run **snmpttconvertmib --in=/usr/share/snmp/mibs/<NEW_MIB> --out=/etc/snmp/snmptt/<vendor>.conf --net_snmp_perl**  see http://snmptt.sourceforge.net/docs/snmpttconvertmib.shtml
  - add reference in /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini to new file if necessary
   * e.g <code>
snmptt_conf_files = <<END
/etc/snmp/snmptt.conf
/etc/snmp/snmptt/apc.conf
END
</code>
