[mrtg] Re: newbie mrtg question

[Dowling, Steve]

Jonathon,

I'd say your mrtg conf is set to record and show bytes/sec.  This is the
default.  
Your ISP is probably looking at his logs in terms of bits/sec; this is
common 
for people who run WAN links.  

Multiply your 400kBytes/sec by 8 to get 3.2Mbits/sec which is about what
your 
ISP is counting.  

Try adding a line like this to your config file:
Options[asdf]: bits

Subject: [mrtg] newbie mrtg question


I have been having a problem with bandwidth so I have setup mrtg to
monitor
all of my routers. I have a 7.5 Meg fiber connection. My backbone
provider
has informed us that we are using up to 60% of our bandwidth off and on,
but
my mrtg graphs show only about 400.00 k. If I was using 4Megs it would
show
4000 k correct? Or does it sound like I have my mrtg.conf misconfigured.
I
used the cfgmaker. Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
