[mrtg] Re: Graphing number of packets

[Peter Erickson]

My first question is that if this is bytes/sec, its there a way to just count the number of packets (pkts/sec) and not bytes/sec?

Lastly, does this OID could only packts that originated at the router? This router is the gateway that all the machines are connected to and I would like to not only monitor the bandwidth that im using (i got that going), but also monitor the number of total packets that cross the gateway that originated from the gateway itself or the hosts behind it.

Thanks for the response.

I thought that I would just set the target to ifInUcastPkts and ifOutUcastPkts, but i dont think thats is right, cause i find it hard to believe that im only passing 2 packets average. Am i using the wrong OID? Is this even possible? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
