[mrtg] Monitor TenGiga ports

Hi,

64 bit counters were created to collect high capacity traffic (Giga and
above). The "regular" counters are 32 bit.

MRTG needs a special sign that tells to work with the 64 bit counters.
This sign is ':::::', e.g. public at 1.1.1.1:::::2.

As I said before it has significance when collecting Giga port and above
(TenGiga ...). 

As I know it doesn't have anything with the SNMP version.

Dear All,

 

I am new to MRTG & this might be simple question for you all.

64bit counters? Where we can find it? What is its significance in MRTG?
Does it to do anything with SNMP version.

 

 

 

 

Regards,

Yogesh Suryawanshi

What do you mean by rediscover? 

I erased the old RRD file and ran my new MRTG version on my cfg file.
Something more?

Store it with RRD and using 14-all.cgi

 

Did you rediscover the 10G ports after you upgraded?

Yes I am using the 64bit counters. Example
password at Some_Device_Name:::::2. 

How you store the data? As MRTG gif or as .rrd file? What front-end are
you using?

I'm monitoring 3x10G port channels with traffic consistently around
15-20G as well as 4-5G on single 10G's.

 

Are you using the 64bit counters? public at 1.1.1.1:::::2      Something
like that? You need to use that in order to get the 10G 

 

What are you using for your cfgmaker commands?

Hi guys,

It took me sometime, I upgraded to mrtg-2.15.2 and I still get 100%
bandwidth of 4.19 Gbps.

1 more thing, when you say you collect with "no problems", did you
really saw traffic over 4 Gbps?

 

Thanks,

Gil.

Hi,

I am using version 2.11.1. I will try to upgrade and see what happens.

 

Thanks to all for your answers,

Gil.

We are running 10gig switches on our 4 6513's and using mrtg 2.17 have
seen no problems

Which version of MRTG are you running? I had a similar problem but when
I upgraded to the latest MRTG it started discovering them all as 10G
ports and have been monitoring a few hundred of them for a few months
now.

Hello,

I monitor TenGiga ports on Cisco routers (6506/9) with MRTG using 64-bit
counters (:::::2).

As I understand 64-bit counters can fit 10 Giga bit, nevertheless the
max bandwidth shown is ~4Gbps.

Why is that? Or what am I missing?

 

 

Thanks,

Gil.
