net.if.in/net.if.out Displayed Output

[cshearhod]

I have searched high and low and I can't seem to come up with an answer to this question. I am running 1.1beta9 and have found that the netloadin and netloadout are no longer available and many threads have indicated that net.if.in and net.if.out are the appropriate replacements. However, when I use this, the output appears to be cumulative instead of the expected KBps. Ultimately, I'd prefer to be able to see what the real-time usage is of my eth0 interface instead of the lifetime history of eth0.

Can someone please tell me how I should be configuring Zabbix to get the information I need? Thank you.

Edit the item and in the last dropdown (store value) you have to select "Delta (Speed per second)"

I think you also need to use a multiplier of 8 to convert bytes to bits, but I haven't seen any confirmation whether that is 100% correct or not.
