[mrtg] Re: Graphs show innacurate traffic. Monitoring on other s ide of the link shows correct traffic.

[Sawyer, David]

Has any device had a reboot?!?

I ask this because sometimes the interfaces don't keep the same ifIndex
values after a reboot.

It's best to not use ifIndex, but some other form of reference that doesn't
change after a reboot.

Hi everyone,

We are monitoring traffic on a link.  On our side of the link, we
monitor an atm switch and a Juniper router involved in the connection. 
>From the other side traffic graphs are generated by monitoring a Juniper
switch.  So traffic graphs for both sides' had been identical.  However
as of last Thursday our graphs show a sharp decrease in traffic (which
is inaccurate), while the other side's graphs show traffic as usual.  I
contacted our network administrator, he said nothing has changed on our
side.

Anyone willing to shed some light on this phenomenon?

TIA
