Huawei Firewall Eudemon througput graph

Question

Hi,

I am plotting BW graph of gigabit port of Huawei firewall Eudemon 1000, The graph form by Orion NPM is very shaggy, it shows show much spikes. However if we plot the same device with PrTG is shows normal utilization.

Polling interval is set to be 5mints,

Can any one help me out what is the issue?

Thanks

Sometimes this can happen if you are using a 32 bit counter to monitor an interface that is pushing a decent amount of traffic.  I would suggest checking the box to allow 64 bit counters for the device and see if that clears up the problem.

You'll have to get more responses from some of people that use PrTG but from past posts I believe they normalize their graphs and also do scaling which as far as I know SW's does not ie. the data is more RAW and displayed exactly the way it's polled in Orion.  I asume your other concern was that possibly the the polling interval was too tight but you should be able to see how your polling is working by looking at the Polling Engine Status.
