DISPLAY OF AVAILABILITY INFORMATION AND AVAILABILITY PERCENTAGE TRAFFIC GRAPHS

[Alvaro Valladares]

I am trying to add availability time and availability percentage data to the traffic graph of an interface. When I upload the template to my 7.4 server, I get several errors. Does anyone have a template that can provide me with this data and add it to the traffic graphs of a switch's interfaces? I look forward to your responses. Thank you very much.

You can add any numeric item to a classic graph. You can specify left or right for the scale if you have two items with massively different scales.

Thank you, can you help me with an example to obtain the availability variable from the interface so I can add it to the graph?

I am not aware of a variable with a name like that.
You could have the interface operational state?
For example, I added number 3 here:


Note that I have set the Y-axis to "Right" because the units are a completely different scale to throughput items.

Is it possible to create a variable that displays the amount of active time of the interface (days, minutes, and seconds) and a variable that shows the percentage of availability based on the active time of the interface? Can you help me with examples of how to create these variables to add them to the graph?

Alternatively there are the "new"-type graphs [which have been around for years...] and you can choose to have associate problems plotted on the graph:

It depends what you mean by "active time of the interface".

"How long has interface throughput been non-zero for?" is a bit tricky to answer in Zabbix. You can create a trigger for low throughput, then that can be displayed on a new-type graph [per post 4].
I already explained ifOperStatus so I guess you don't mean that.
Another one is ifLastChange [https://oidref.com/1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9] but not every device supports that, and tbh it's probably even harder to use the way you are describing.
