Correct way of showing ifIn/ifOut octets (traffic) in case of SNMP device monitoring

[zabbixfk]

Hello All,

We are monitoring some network devices ( firewall/routers) based on SNMP templates, and traffic is showed in this way,

1). Do the discovery of number of interfaces



2). Then create ITEM PROTOTYPE for the required,




3). For input traffic,



and same above settings goes for Output Traffic.

If you observe, we are using
Type of Information: Numeric ( unsigned)
Data type: Decimal
Units : bps
Custom multiplier : 8

The problem here is,

a). On some routers, if the bandwidth is 180kbps, its showing ( under graph/latest data) : 1.8kbps ( Confirmed using snmpwalk/router admin settings)

b). I am not able to see graphs value if the bandwidth cross 100mbps. ( Confirming you that, i don't have any additional settings on graphs.




Any pointers to resolve above issues are greatly helpful.

Thanks.

Hi,

imho not showing values bigger than 100mbps may not be connected to graph definition at all (yours looks fine). Try using 64-bit counters for traffic checks.

Keys/oids would be:
incoming: IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.xxx
outgoinf: IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.xxx.

Thanks for the reply. But even this didn't help. I am getting same values in both counter32, counter64 keys.

Thanks.
