Bandwidth readings are incorrect

I have numerous servers (HP) that are displaying the wrong % utilisation on the interfaces within the Node Details screen, this became apparent yesterday when the Transmit reading went to 131%. In the past when I have spotted this I have checked that NPM has recognised the correct NIC speed and if it hasn't I have modified it but in this case and a few others NPM is showing the correct speed for the interface.

So why is it reading this wrong and how can I get it to show the correct utilisation, this is still a new system with us and seeing percentages over 100% will not give the users confidence in its accuracy.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Also, you can check out my post here. Many customer's see this for different reasons. Many times it is the device reporting bad numbers to us. Try out step 3 from my post while the bandwidth is high to see if you get a correct calculation.

Thanks
