Erroneous results acquired

Hi,

 

I wonder if any of you guys can help with a problem that I have? I wish to acquire data of utilization on Gig E interfaces on a Cisco 7200. I use the OID’s ifInOctets and ifOutOctets in my config file reading the 32bit counters. The graphs produced seem to be displaying incorrect results. I am comparing my results to that acquired by cricket. I’m sure that my syntax is correct. See syntax below for interface 149.

 

Target[<name>]: ifInOctets.149&ifOutOctets.149:<communitystring>@<device IP>

 

Another problem I found is that I cannot get any data usung 64bit counter OID’s, ie. ifHCInOctets and ifHCOutOctets.

 

Thanks,

Faiqo

Sounds like the counters are wrapping around - you will need to specify
using SNMPv2 in the target or cfgmaker to read the HC counters:

Target[<name>]:ifInOctets.149&ifOutOctets.149:<communitystring>@<deviceIP>:::::2
