} }I then tested some backups. I watched for over 10 minutes, }with overlap on the MRTG 5 minute interval, and the lowest }rate I ever saw come through to that interface was 125 Mbits }per second, and the highest was 267 Mbits per second. Great }it works! I verifed these results by using the SolarWinds }Bandwidth monitor tool, as well as with GlancePlus }(measurement software for HP-UX), so I feel pretty good about }two different tools seeing the same results. } ... }Yet when I checked the MRTG graph, it only showed 111 }Mbits/sec during the ftp test, and 104 Mbits/sec during the }backup test. }Any ideas as to why it isn't displaying what I think it }should, specifically higher values? It is a 5 minute average }right? Both times I made sure the tests lasted at least 10 }minutes to cover at least one 5 minute window of high bandwidth. } I couldn't ascertain whether or not you're polling this interface with 64 bit counters. If you aren't, then the maximum you'll see on MRTG is ~114 megabits/sec. A 32 bit counter running faster than that will roll in less than five minutes and give bogus results.
Try this when building your config: cfgmaker --snmp-options=:::::2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] That should generate a config with 64 bit counter polling. Of course, your switch/router will need to support the big counters, but chances are it does if it has gig-e interfaces. -- Attached file removed by Ecartis and put at URL below -- -- Type: application/ms-tnef -- Size: 1k (1666 bytes) -- URL : http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/p/58-WINMAIL.DAT -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
