I'm fairly new to using plesk. If anyone has setup snmp and mrtg for monitoring server performance, I would appreciate some tips/pointers on how you did it.

Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.

Little MRTG HowTo
Here's my recent installation recipe:
- PRIVATE = My SNMP zone, for security, I choosed one hard to guess
- MYDOMAIN = mydomain.com
# = run as root
1 - /etc/snmpd.conf changed to my prefs (PRIVATE zone, system location, admin email...).
2 - #/etc/init.d/snmpd start
3 - #yum install mrtg
4 - #cp /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg.OLD
5 - #cfgmaker --output=/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --global 'Workdir: /var/www/mrtg/data' --global 'Options[_]: growright,bits,unknaszero' --global'Weekformat[^]: V' PRIVATE@MYDOMAIN
6 - #mv /var/www/mrtg/index.html /var/www/mrtg/index.html.OLD
7 - #indexmaker --output=/var/www/mrtg/index.html --columns=1 --autoprefix /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
8 - #/usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --logging /var/log/mrtg.log <<< (people say to run this, ony the first time, for 5 or 6 times, but I don't know the reason)
9 - I removed /etc/cron.d/mrtg as it was also defined in /var/spool/cron/root
10 - Then I had my network summary at http://MYDOMAIN/mrtg !
I hope this helps
