[mrtg] Re: Result from MRTG does not match actual file size copied

[steve]

Thanks to all replied.

I will try to test it again and compare. 

Basically, I start the mrtg first and let it collect the initial
statistic and then I copy that file (230,129 KB). I then run the
mrtg_total.pl and check the result.

Does anyone out there use a different method to verify the results?

Thanks,

Steve

Clarification:  I read your message again, and my initial response was
to
the MRTG-reported-traffic to file-actual-size comparison, as opposed to
MRTG-reported-traffic to NIC-reported-traffic... if you're comparing the
latter two numbers, they should be *much* closer together.

Hi all,

Does everyone out there has compared the network statistic collected by
mrtg to the actual data move in or out
that Nic?

I performed the comparison by starting the mrtg as a daemon and copied a
specified file size from monitored server to another.
After I done the coping I ran the mrtg_total.pl by Josef Wendel
(http://www.geocities.com/josef_wendel/) and compared both values. It
Turned out the value, which the mrtg_total.pl script calculated is 23 MB
bigger than the actual file size.

Any advises is appreciated

Thanks,

Steve
