I did a bunch of work on calculating 95th percentile last year. Bottom
line: you can't get a valid 95th percentile value out of rrd files due to
the way that rrd aggregates data down. Librenms is even worse because it
provides you with a 95th in and a 95th out -- which is practically never
what you actually want -- and there's no easy way to get a single number
out of that. I don't know if there's a way to pull it out of the nfdump
files using nfsen, but I had a set of scripts that pulled out
per-local-ip-bytes-per-timeperiod and stored those values in a database
(for customer IP throughput numbers) -- I merely extended this to also
calculate a 95th percentile value.
