Hello, I am quite anxious to find the reason why huge peaks are generated on graphs. I have determined that should a poll fail for a target, the following poll will generate a huge peak of traffic that was not actually present. I configured a test link which is basically idle, and created a target for it. The first 3 polls were normal, I then changed the SNMP read password to something else to cause the request to fail. I then changed it back, and the next poll showed a usage of several megabits!
Here is the top of the .log file 1066744812 50623335 35717956 1066744812 175167 123591 175167 123591 1066744523 973 638 973 638 1066744500 973 638 973 638 1066744200 960 629 973 638 1066743900 0 0 0 0 The link never went down and the unit was not rebooted, only the SNMP read community was changed to cause the poll to fail. The following poll modified the .log file as such: 1066745102 50860221 35899136 1066745102 816 624 816 624 1066744812 175167 123591 175167 123591 1066744800 161812 114164 175167 123591 1066744500 973 638 973 638 1066744200 960 629 973 638 1066743900 0 0 0 0 1066743600 0 0 0 0 1066743300 0 0 0 0 Still showing a significant amount of traffic, even though the link is idle. The third poll after: 1066745402 51115419 36089590 1066745402 850 634 850 634 1066745102 816 624 816 624 1066745100 7790 5542 175167 123591 1066744800 161812 114164 175167 123591 1066744500 973 638 973 638 1066744200 960 629 973 638 1066743900 0 0 0 0 1066743600 0 0 0 0 1066743300 0 0 0 0 1066743 back to normal. Any ideas what can cause this? I am using Linux RedHat9, MRTG 2.9.17 and net-snmp 5.0.6.
