That's the primary purpose, yes.
Not just interface counters, but *any* MIB object of type 'Counter'.
Individual values from such an object are meaningless.
A value of '27000' from ifInOctets.1 does *not* mean
that this interface has seen 27000 bytes of traffic since
the system started.
But
snmpget ... ifInOctets.1 -> 27000
sleep 60
snmpget ... ifInOctets.1 -> 28000
means that the interface has seen 1000 bytes of traffic
in the last minute. Similarly for any other Counter object.
snmpdelta automates this process.
Your file change example is an interesting twist,
but this is the primary purpose of the tool.
