The Data Collections and Thresholds tool (snmpCollect) sounds like
what you want. We use it regularly to poll private mib variables like
cpu and memory utlization.
To configure it via a the GUI requires that you have SMIv1 MIB files
loaded in NetView (Load MIBs > SNMP) ...but so long as the agent
responds to snmpv1 requests (which you can test using the command
/usr/OV/bin/snmpget), you can hack snmpCol.conf to get to the
variables you need, even if you only have SMIv2 MIB files.
