Hi, I will be deploying Zenoss Core as our network monitoring system soon for approximately 600 devices. Before I do this I need something cleared up.
Zenoss monitors the interfaces on our Routers and switches, etc. To get some more detail I have added some extra data points such as errors, discards, broadcast, etc. to the ethernetCsmacd template. So far so good. Now here come the questions: - We do not want to see averages in our graphs (Zenoss default) but always the peaks. Therefore I have set the Consolidation in the âGraph pointsâ to MAX instead of the default AVERAGE. Is this enough, is there more info about the MAX setting ? Is a different setting more appropriate ? - Some of the numbers in the graphs are not quite clear to me. For example when I look at the inbound discarded packets on an interface it shows values like âcur : 0.00 avg: 3.17m max: 7.29mâ. Were does the 7.29m as a max value come from ? It seems rather impossible for the maximum value of discarded packets on an interface to be 7.29m packets. The SNMP value for Discarded packets is an integer of type counter. I have tried setting the data point type to âCOUNTERâ and âDERIVEâ with the same result. I see the same problem for multicast, unicast, broadcast packets, etc. Same issue for data points of type GAUGE, such as the number of SSL clients on our Cisco ASA. Cur: 7.78 avg: 3.67 max: 14.55. How can there be currenlty: 7.78 clients ? Anyone who can shed some light on this, it would be very much appreciated. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=31077#31077 -------------------- m2f --------------------
