Hi,
I am trying to get the weekly utilization by parsing through the MRTG log file
for a OC48 Pos interface/ STM-16 on the router. But I have landed in a problem.
While I parse through the mrtg log file and get the weekly utilization, it
comes to about 2.02 %. I tried to check the real time data in the log file and
converted it to bits per sec by multiplying the data in coloumn by 2 & 3 by 8,
and then i verified with the graph that MRTG has plotted. Here I found that the
link is actually utilised upto 30 % for In traffic while it is 13.4 % for out
traffic. I am using the below calculation to get the utilised percentage.
2.488 Gbps
= (2.488/8) Gbps----bits/s
= 0.311 GBps-----Bytes/s
= 311 MBps------------------------>>>>this is the MaxByte that MRTG has
= 311000000 Bytes/s
Now I took about 850 samples from the log file (ignoring the first line of the
log file), then took the 95th percentile of 850, which is 802 sample data, for
incoming traffic in col 2, which is 8710941, and this is in Bytes/s.
Thus, I did the following;
8710941 Bytes/s
= 8710941 X 8
= 69687528 bits/sec
= 69.687528 Mbits/sec
Now the % utlization for the week is;
= (8710941/311000000) X 100
= 2.8 %
OR if I do the cal in Mbits/s
311000000 X 8 = 2488000000 bits/sec
thus,
% utilization for the week is
= (69687528/ 2488000000) X 100
= 2.8 %
Now, when I check in the graph that MRTG has build wih the same set of data, is
as attached below,
`Weekly' Graph (30 Minute Average)
In
Max 1568.5 Mb/s (63.0%)
Average 758.7 Mb/s (30.5%)
Current 1533.5 Mb/s (61.6%)
Out
1253.7 Mb/s (50.4%)
332.3 Mb/s (13.4%)
678.3 Mb/s (27.3%)
Please let me know where am I going wrong, or is there anything that I have
missed. Please guide me.
Regards,
Yagnesh Dave.
