    Zabbix Agent and Unicast Packets - PPS

    Hello community,

    as I'm new to Zabbix, I've got another question. I want to monitor incoming and outgoing unicast packets per second using the Zabbix Agent, not SNMP. Is this even possible? I wasn't able to find anything useful within the (otherwise very useful) documentation.
    If I use net.if.in[eth0,packets] for example, with numeric float and no units (therefore plain numbers), I get useless statistics like these: http://i.imagebanana.com/img/ogzj44ny/packets.png
    Does the Zabbix Agent have any key such as SNMP's ifInUcastPkts or how can I archive this without SNMP?
    The reason is, that with Zabbix I though it might be possible to get enough data using the Agent only, so I don't have to run more than one monitoring protocol on a host.

    If you cannot get it from standard agent item keys, userparameters could be a solution:

      Yeah sure, I just thought that maybe someone had a built-in solution or something, as unicast packets are crucial information imo.
