I have been polling the 64-bit counters from the beginning. Below is a sample from the CFG file:
Target[xxx.xxx.xxx_TenGigabitEthernet10_4]: \TenGigabitEthernet10/4:xx...@xxxxx:::::2 I know that the graphs are off because I still have Cricket graphing the same devices as MRTG. I left Cricket in place while I migrated everything over to MRTG. When I look at the graphs on the same 10-gig interface and look at the actual 10-gig interface on the router, the Cricket graphs seem be more accurate. I have changed the cron from running every 5 minutes to running every minute. I will see how well this does and update the group from there. Thanks for all the help so far. -Patrick ------------------------------------ Sean Cheesman wrote: > Are you polling v2? v2 uses 64 bit counters, versus 32 bit v1, which > isn't enough for anything over like 600Mbps (I don't recall the actual > rollover point). > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* [email protected] [[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Patrick Topping [[email protected]] > *Sent:* Friday, January 30, 2009 12:33 PM > *To:* '[email protected]' > *Subject:* [mrtg] MRTG vs. Cricket > > I am hoping someone can help me out with this issue I am having.....
