Monitoring Tiger via SNMPD over the network (II)

Today while I was over looking some looooooong backups from server to server, continued enabling/ testing the hard disk drive monitoring with SNMPD on Tiger, the plain vanilla one, not the server version.

After enabling SNMPD on Thor, I'm using it to report the percentage of HDD used, running snmpdf, one of the programs from the net-snmp suite.
On Thor I have 2 HDDs, spliced onto 3 partitions.

When executed, the command returns info on all of the HDDs that box you are monitoring has, so the biggest annoyance it parsing the result, but it only takes a couple of minutes to figure it how to get the desired result printed.

This is the result, without parsing:

$ /usr/local/bin/snmpdf -v 2c -Oqv -Cu -c XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX thor
Description              size (kB)            Used       Available Used%
/                         25952256         4844504        21107752   18%
/Volumes/data1            51936304        21595244        30341060   41%
/Volumes/data2            79912152        60396756        19515396   75%

And here is the snip from the /etc/mrtg.cfg file from Judith:

I'm looking at other options available, so I can avoid making all those operations to parse the data.
