This sounds more like a mrtg problem, right?

Changing to correct component...

Read ya, Phil

Comment 2 Martin Rheumer 2002-10-23 08:37:32 UTC

top shows that the snmpwalk and snmpget command are using most of the 
cpu and memory thus 
increasing the load.

Comment 4 Miloslav Trmač 2004-08-17 08:57:24 UTC

As far as I can see, mrtg-2.10.5 itself never calls the snmpwalk or
snmpget commands, unless you have specified them in the config file as
an external monitoring script.
Please reopen if you still experience this with a recent release
and the load is caused by mrtg.
