I actually wrote a couple scripts that monitor the server.  One script is
just meant to be called from the command line (snmp_query) and displays
the results in a clean easy to understand format.  The sample output is as
follows:

 Cyrus IMAP Server v2.0.16
 Thu Jan 23 09:10:55 EST 2003
 Up 5 days, 0:36:29

 Services     Forks       Running     Maximum

 lmtp         1350        32          113
 lmtpunix     150         0           1
 ===========  ==========  ==========  ==========
 Total        26359       1782        2434

 NOTES
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 Forks   = Total number of forks since server was started.
 Running = Total number of processes currently running.
 Maximum = Maximum number of processes running concurrently.

The other script (check_cyrus) is for logging and I use a cron job that
runs it periodically and appends the output to a log file.  The output
of that script looks like the following (all on one line, though):

 01/23 09:11 5 days, 0:37:08 imap=31/48 pop3=2/11 imaps=1672/2127
     pop3s=23/72 imaps_silky=22/62 lmtp=32/113 lmtpunix=0/1

The above data should be easy enough to parse so that you can push it
through a grapher, such as gnuplot or maybe even excel.

I will attach both scripts.  Maybe if the CMU folks like it, they can
put it in the contrib directory?

Oh, I actually just called the snmpwalk program directly and didn't
use the SNMP perl module.  Maybe somebody else can retrofit the script
to do that.  Anyawys, it should require just minor tweaking to get it
to work on your system.
