Pradeep,

First, I normally put MRTG on a box *separate* from the one I'm
monitoring for a number of reasons, including the induced load of
running those scripts.

Below is an email I privately shared, but am now sending to the list in
general, of a sample config file.  I don't know why cfgmaker isn't
working for you, but you may want to debug *that* before attempting MRTG
simply because if that part doesn't work on your machine, I've got my 
doubts about anything else.

PS:
Actually, the name is "JT", "Arf" is simply a greeting.

  Here's an example of the configuration file I use for a cobalt box.  If I
  were you, I'd use "cfgmaker" to get this for me.  That will probe 
  everything that the Cobalt box has for SNMP.  Like this:
  
  cfgmaker 'public@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
  
  Which produces something like the following (though you always have to add
  the IconDir and WorkDir directives):
  
  IconDir: /usr2/apache_1.3b3/htdocs/mrtg/icons
  WorkDir: /usr2/apache_1.3b3/htdocs/mrtg
