Have you perused the tools/utilities that JRB Software offers? He may have what you need.

I think I found the two OIDs that I need. They are titled nwFSreads and nwFSwrites. Does anyone know if these are synonymous with disk reads/writes or disk transfers (IOPS)?

You will need to find the specific OID for disk activity. That is what the SNMPWALK process does. It walks down the OID tree and returns the information from the host. The GETIF utility mentioned on the link provided above is one of the best for walking a tree.

Thank you for the information. But, I don’t see anything here that monitors disk activity. Is there something similar to the iostat or sar activity that I would get on a linux server?
