[mrtg] Re: Monitoring Cisco Router Errors and Discards

[Koelstra, J. (Jan)]

Lib,

These counters are indeed cumulative. 
That you should not use absolute in the options line is clear. Normally
you can say the same about using gauge in the options line. However if
you have only very few errors on your network there is something to say
for the gauge option.

Subject: [mrtg] Monitoring Cisco Router Errors and Discards



Am I correct in assuming that ifInErrors, ifInDiscards, ifOutErrors and 
ifOutDiscards on a Cisco Router are cumulative (ever incrementing)
counters 
and that I should therefore not use gauge or absolute in Options []?

Thanks,
