I have a linux script monitor component that is outputing a running total number, similar to what you would get on ifoctets of an interface. I want the number to actually be in bits per second.
Example. Lets say I have it polling every 5 minutes and over 3 polling cycles the script returns:
Poll1 = statistic.1: 10000
Poll2 = statistic.1: 10300 (difference is 300 or 1bps)
Poll3 = statistic.1: 11200 (differance is 900 or 3bps)
I get a graph with [10000, 10300, and 11200] when I really want is either ["initial poll", 300, 900] or ["initial poll", 1, 3]
I don't want to change the graph, because I also want the warning and critical levels to be based on the bps (or difference) instead of the running total.
This is actually the default way the snmp component does it, and it has a checkbox called "count statistic as difference" to do it the way the script component does. So what I really need is the opposite of that checkbox. I thought I had done this before, but I honestly cannot remember how.
