Re: Interface graph shows massive fluctuation
sedmo Mar 5, 2009 9:23 AM (in response to bwiechman)This could be caused by Solarwinds not using 64 bit counters when polling the device.

Re: Interface graph shows massive fluctuation
bwiechman Mar 5, 2009 9:43 AM (in response to sedmo)Hmm... I didn't think of that, but could very well be. I create all my interface graphs in cacti with 64 bit counters by default.
If I allow 64 bit counters does that take effect immediately?

Yann Mar 5, 2009 11:03 AM (in response to bwiechman)Hi,
I think this is more an optical illusion due to the height difference between both charts. I reduced the height of the Orion chart and they pretty look like twins. Let me know what you think.

Re: Interface graph shows massive fluctuation
bwiechman Mar 5, 2009 3:42 PM (in response to Yann)The high points are the same. If you look at the cacti graph each horizontal line is 20mbps so the peak is around 180M for both. It is all the spurious low readings that concern me.
I configured the devices to use 64 bit counters and will have to monitor them for a few days and see but that could very well be the issue.
