More Bandwidth Monitoring

[bobrivers]

Hi, I searched the foruns. Found something, but not to much conclusive. I'm trying to monitor the traffic from a router (cisco).

When I create the host (linked with SNMP_t) it brings the most important data, including IfInOctets and IfOutOctets. But, when I graph the values, they look like a cumulative graph, and I was expecting something like a heartbeat graph (kind of irregular ups and downs).

I found this post http://www.zabbix.com/forum/showthre...ight=bandwidth

So, I cloned the IfInOctect and renamed it to Rx. It worked. Then I changed its configuration. First (as mentioned in the post that I mentioned) I changed its STORE VALUE to "delta (speed per second)". When I do this, it stops data gathering...

I tried to decrease the update interval, but nothing happened.

So, using Zabbix 1.3.3, how do I do this? What's necessary to monitor the in/out traffic at a specific moment, not the cumulative bytes over a period?

TIA,

Bob

Did you change item's value type to Float as well?

Me too

I discovered the same problems in 1.3.3. with ifOutOctets and ifInOctets. Not only delta (Spedd) but also normal delta format stopped data gathering.

Yes, type is float

The type of said item is float.

Working

Hi,

Yes, it was marked as float.

Last friday I changed the item store data to "delta (simple change)" but as I said it didn't worked.

But, today was necessary to restart the server (not related with zabbix). And when it restarted, it started to gather data... magically...

So, I tried to turn back to "delta (speed per second)" and it stopd. I tried to clean the item history. Didn't worked. Then I turned it back to simple change. Nothing. So, I stoped zabbix server/agent and... it worked...

I'm not quite sure about the procedures that I did (i did it in a hury). But I will do it again and try to confirm if its related or not with server/agent...
