Hi All! I am trying to work out a system to regularly collect performance Data via SNMP and store then in an Oracle database. We already have a mechanism to read the data from there and generate reports, so we are currently not planning to implement something like rrdtool, cacti or any other package. So, I need to up with a way to load the data into the Oracle DB. That sounds pretty easy as all I need to do is run snmpget on the specific values (e.g. UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuRawIdle). So far, so good.
Now comes the tricky part (at least as far as I can see). This is a value of type Counter32. I am at a loss to figure out what that means in this context. I run the snmpget once and get a value of 147623233. I run it a few seconds later I get 147623475. That gives me a diffences of 242. Well, 242 what? Milliseconds that the system was idle during this time? Well, I ran it twice 60 seconds apart and got a difference of 4327. Dividing this by 6000 (60 centi-seconds???), I got 0.72. The idle percent of this system is around 72%. So, is this the value I just calculated? At this point loading the data into rrdtool is not an option. Maybe in the future, but my boss wants it this way. Any help is always appreaciated.
