    In/Out Bandwidth Graph Looses Data

    I've got a graph that shows in/out octets on a firewall interface. Whenever bandwidth gets above 300mb/s we start losing lines on the graph.



    Running Zabbix 3.2.1 on CentOS 7:

    Data is gathered from a SNMP LLD rule:
    Name: SNMP Interface Discovery
    Key: SNMP_IF_Discovery
    SNMP OID: discovery[{#IFDESCR}, ifDescr, {#IFALIAS}, ifAlias, {#IFPHYSADDRESS}, ifPhysAddress, {#IFINOCTETS}, ifInOctets, {#IFOUTOCTETS}, ifOutOctets]

    With two Item Prototypes:
    Name: {$SITE.NAME} - Inbound Traffic on Interface {#IFALIAS} {#IFDESCR}
    Key: ifInOctets[{#IFDESCR}]
    SNMP OID: IF-MIB::ifInOctets.{#SNMPINDEX}
    Type of information: Numeric (unsigned)
    Data type: Decimal
    Units: bps
    Use custom multiplier: 8
    Update interval (in sec): 60
    History storage period (in days): 90
    Trend storage period (in days): 1825
    Store value: Delta (speed per second)

    The strange thing is - when I'm viewing the graph in real time I will see the bar go along the screen and then when it refreshes again, it will suddenly have a gap in a place that used to have data. This will go on for a bit until it starts picking up data again.

    When I view the custom graph, it shows the whole, and when I create a simple graph from the latest data on the interface, it shows the same hole in the data, so I think it might actually be losing data somehow?

    can you click in the latest data graph on "values" (upper right corner) and look if some gaps in the time where you are missing data?

      These are the lastest values, I'm missing lines on the graph for around :29-:35

      I've got the item updating every 60 seconds, not sure why I've got between 1 and 6 minutes between values?

        Make sure you are using 64 bit counters. 32 bit counters overflow too frequently. If counter's value decreases between checks, Zabbix dismisses new value, hence the gaps.

          Awesome suggestion! I'm now monitoring both the 32 bit (ifInOctets) and the 64 bit High Capacity (ifHCInOctets) interfaces on the device. This usually only happens when we're using a ton of bandwidth, so it could be a while until I see if it resolves itself, but I'll post back if it does.

          Thanks!!
