[mrtg] Re: Inaccurate Results

["Helmert, Jörg"]

Hi,

you could use a snmpget utility to read the values by yourself.
Do this now and 5 minutes later and divide by 300 sec (5 min).

Now you get send or received octets per second. Should be almost
Bytes per second.

If this is what mrtg is showing, your snmp-daemon shows the wrong
values or your ftp-client shows the wrong values.

If this is the correct value, something with your mrtg-config 
might be wrong.

bye,

 Joerg Helmert

Actually the devices i'm monitoring are the FTP servers, so they ofcourse
should see the traffic.

Any other suggestions? Am i the only one with this problem?
