The 32-bit counters of SNMPv1 loop at five minute intervals at about 114 Mbps. So the maximum bandwidth you can monitor normally with MRTG is 114 Mbps. There are a few ways aroung this:
- Switch from rateup to rrdtool. This will allow you to run mrtg at shorter intervals. More information on http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/reference.html . - Hack MRTG to eliminate the minimum five minute interval. This will allow you to run MRTG at shorter intervals and keep your graphs and display pages exactly where they are, but it will also negatively impact your monitoring system. - Poll the ifHC* counters with snmpv2c, if your devices support it. More information on http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/reference.html . This will allow you to stay with 5 minute intervals. -james Bill Anderson wrote: > Greetings, > > I'm running mrtg-2.9.17 on a RedHat box, mostly all is well, until recently > traffic on some of our interfaces (on GSRs and 6509s) started going over > 120Mb/s. 105 Megs, no problem, but over about 110-120, the graphs start > to look truncated...hmmm...not trucated exactly, but like the bottom is cut > off, and instead of showing say 120, they'll show 30.
