PRTG or MRTG..?
Hi,
I've been using PRTG for a bit of time but some Netgear routers don't support SNR or Line Attenuation..etc via SNMP OID. So, with my Netgear DG834Gv3, I've only been able to get the sync rate with PRTG through SNMP. Anyone tried to get other variables at all? did it work? what router do use that has OID for SNR?
I had to use MRTG to get the sync, snr, errors...etc. it is informative but not shiny

Have you tried snmpwalk-ing it?
I vaguely remember from when I was graphing mine that it would only work successfully if I was in PPPoE mode, not PPPoA. Memory does get hazy over the years though
Looks like attenuation, SNR etc aren't displayed as OIDs. However, I believe Kitz has some info on scraping the relevant stuff from the web interface: http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/netgeardg834_MRTG.htm
Possible to shoehorn that into PRTG? I've not used PRTG before (I use Cacti, mainly) but surely it should be able to run scripts?
Cheers

Yeah, I've tried the snmpwalk command, it did make me think that my router doesn't show the snr oid. But you confirmed the same results. I don't fancy getting a cisco router with adsl2+ card lol. I'll try and interface them to PRTG and the routerstat dumps from telnet. Should be fun to get each attribute (snr, attenuation) by a .cmd file
