[rrd-users] Re: conversion

[Serge Maandag]

It is in bytes. It's the number of bytes that have passed through the
interface since it started counting or since the counters wrapped.

So the number itself is probably meaningless. It's the change in value
in a known interval that makes it interesting. Therefore, store it as a
counter value. Rrdtool will compute (new value - old value) / timespan
and store it in the database.

Hi, I'm using snmpwalk on a switch to get bandwidth data. Say I have a
line like the following:
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.14 = Counter32: 2049398269
 
How would I mathematically go about converting that number into bytes
(decimal). Is it already in decimal? Or what? Thanks in advance.
