You need to just monitor the right mib through an SNMP job. Interface
load reflects more of a router concept than a hub concept. Routers have
interfaces, hubs have ports. You could also get the interface load
on a per-port basis, but these mibs are typically vendor specific and
not standardized. I'm afraid we don't have any UB hubs here, so I wouldn't
be able to give you a specific direction to take in searching for the
MIB data that you need.
