What fans? In what type of OS? Can you do an SNMPWALK and get a mib displaying your current RPM?

I'm a really newbie handeling things with cacti....

But a fan is a ventilator for example in a big switch!

Can you be more specific? switch model...

example OIDs for Cisco:

'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusTable' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusEntry' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusDescr' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.2',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureStatusValue' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.3',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureThreshold' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.4',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureLastShutdown'=> '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.5',
'ciscoEnvMonTemperatureState' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.3.1.6',
'ciscoEnvMonFanStatusDescr' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.4.1.2',
'ciscoEnvMonFanState' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.4.1.3',
'ciscoEnvMonSupplyStatusDescr' => '.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5.1.2',

follow up:

here is the output from an snmpwalk, which I believe only indicates that the fans are on & not what rpm they are turning at. The 6500s may provide more info

If you're talking about fans on a windows system, then install MBM5. I've got a perl script that can parse out of its csv file for stats.
