xenconsole and SNMP ?

Hi,

does sysutils/xenconsole work with SNMP for anyone?  I'm
running an snmpd
on all my domU's, which I can succesfully query from the
commandline on the
dom0.  I can't get it to work with xcon however.  A
tcpdump(8) on a domU
shows that xcon is requesting the values, but snmpd returns
noSuchName.  

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Apart from that, the MIB used for the "uptime"
value is sysUpTimeInstance,
which gives the uptime of the snmpd, instead of
hrSystemUptime, which gives
the uptime of the OS.  I'll fix that (unless this is
intended??) when I get
xcon to work.

I found the two offending OID's, the workaround is to
comment them out:

--- xsnmp.pm.orig       2006-09-13 22:41:10.000000000 +0200
+++ xsnmp.pm    2006-09-13 22:37:42.000000000 +0200

    swap_total  => OID_SWAP_TOTAL,
    swap_avail  => OID_SWAP_AVAIL,
    mem_avail   => OID_MEM_AVAIL,
-   mem_buffers => OID_MEM_BUFFERS,
-   mem_cache   => OID_MEM_CACHED,
+#  mem_buffers => OID_MEM_BUFFERS,
+#  mem_cache   => OID_MEM_CACHED,
    sys_descr   => OID_SYS_DESCR,
 );

I don't know what the proper MIBS should be though.

This is the right MIB for host uptime:
