question on using In ${InBps} Out ${OutBps} on a map interface

Question

i've placed this variable on a few maps to show the interface traffic: In ${InBps} Out ${OutBps}

occasionally the values show up as ZERO values, that is:

instead of something like In 3.5Mbps Out 1.2Mbps

it shows up as In 0 bps Out 0 bps

any thoughts on why it does not always have the correct values?

fyi

i just now captured this screenshot which shows what i've been seeing...notice this fiber showing up as ZERO in/out.

i had similar thoughts and increased the polling interval on a device or two but these ZEROES still show up occasionally.

funny thing is, you never know which device or which interface it will be.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is whether this is a problem with the map tooltips showing the wrong value of In/OutBps or whether Orion is just having trouble polling the interface bandwidth in general.
