SNMP Monitoring - ifHCOutOctets or ifOutOctets

[alexandreroble]

Hi,

I've started working with Zabbix for SNMP monitoring and I need monitoring two routers: CISCO1941 and CISCO2911.

Which MIB should I use for the network interface (sent): ifHCOutOctets or ifOutOctets? I'm really confused about this.

I've attached "Template Module Interfaces SNMPv2" for the routers. I think the value returned for the Zabbix is too low.

When I run the command below, it returns the value: 62732312475

snmpwalk -v2c -c Password 10.10.200.11 IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.1
IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.1 = Counter64: 62732312475

What is the unity of this value? How to convert to kbps?


I would really appreciate any help.

Hi !
ifOutOctets - 32-bit SNMP counters \ ifHCOutOctets - 64-bit SNMP counters.
For kbps use preprocessing: 1 step = "Change per second" , 2 step Custom multiplier =8 (as in Template)

Hamardaban,

Thanks for your help!

I will use the template with the ifHCOutOctets parameter (default).
