Hello, Step 1: Confirm the interface you want to monitor by taking a look at the following mibs: .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 ifDescr .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 ifType .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.5 ifSpeed By browsing the above mibs, you should be able to figure out which instance to monitor. You have probably already done this.
Step 2: Decide if you want to monitor incoming or outgoing traffic. We'll use IfInOctets as you mentioned below. .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10 represents IfInOctets .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5 the .5 represents the interface we want to monitor Step 3: Do the math. Lets say you want to be notified if traffic averages over 1 megabit/sec for "the polling interval". 1000000 = 1 million bits/sec 1000000/8 = 125000 octets/sec We should be using octets as this is what most devices I have run into use as a counter. Step 4: Create the service and give it a decent name (e.g. IfInOctets-5) where -5 is the interface (i.e instance). Step 5: fill in the blanks: Object ID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.5 Check it for: Rate of Change in Value ;as we are looking for a delta Rate of Change: 125000 ;octets in 1megabit/sec Failing rate is: above ;traffic over 1 megabits on average in a polling interval Test fails when exceeded: 2 ;must occur in two polling intervals prior to notification Step 6: apply the service to the icon If someone has some tips for me, I would appreciate it.

I have searched and searched both the list archive and the IPswitch knowledge base and can come up with no definitive answers. I am trying to achieve a threshold monitor on my 3 fractional T1's in a Cisco. I am at a loss as to how to do this. Please can someone help me with links or a procedure? I have looked at IfInOctets and just cannot figure out how I would alarm on such an esoteric number.... Help! Craig.
