[rrd-users] Graphing total bandwidth usage

[Simon Amor]

Hi,

 I've just started using RRDtool-1.0.13 to log byte counts for each port on
each switch so we can monitor bandwidth for each server. The values are
combined in/out bytes instead of separate, but this isn't too much of a
problem. When I try and graph the information, I end up with what looks like
deltas rather than absolute values.

The rrd was created using:

RRDs::create("s1g1.rrd",
     "DS:p1:COUNTER:600:0:4294967295",
     "DS:p2:COUNTER:600:0:4294967295",
     "DS:p3:COUNTER:600:0:4294967295",
...
     "DS:p24:COUNTER:600:0:4294967295",
     "RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600",
     "RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700",
     "RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775",
      "RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797");

Data gathered from snmpwalk via a perl script is added every 5 minutes using
RRDs::update("s1g1.rrd", "N:$data");

rrdtool fetch s1g1.rrd MAX shows a number of values, but they're all
floating point instead of being a 32bit int. What am I doing wrong?

To graph the data, I'm using:

rrdtool graph s1g1p1.gif --start -86400 DEF:in=s1g1.rrd:p1:MAX
AREA:in#00FF00:"Traffic"

Which RRA is it actually using to display the graph?
