Monitor Switch Interface Broadcasts

Miles.cass

Is anyone out there monitoring switch ports for broadcast packets sent / recieved on an interface?  I have setup some custom MIB pollers to pull this data but when the data is displayed in orion it gives very small numbers like 7, 8,12,9 etc.  When I test the poller within the Universal Device Poller program it gives me numbers like 821561148 which is a far cry from the value of 7 that is displayed on my orion interface detials page!  Up untill now I have only been testing with the 32 bit counters (OIDs listed below) I am now going to see if using the 64 bit counters makes any difference.

 

Has any one else tried this with success?

OIDs

1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.13 - ifInBroadcastPkts

1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.5 - ifOutBroadcastPkts

 

 PS.  I am testing on a Cisco 6509.

Here is an example of what I see when I look at the database for a specific interface.  It seems like the database is putting the data in exponent format and that is what orion is displaying.  Is there anyway to fix this?
