[rrd-users] Re: Problems interpreting the dump of a rrd file

[Serge Maandag]

The rrdtool database holds the values that snmpget presents.
snmpget get the ifInOctets and ifOutOctets.

An octet is ofcourse the same as a byte.
Therefore the values stored in the rrd database are in bytes.

Option: bits is a graph time option.

Serge.

I've seen that if I multiply by 8 the numbers in the rrd file I obtain
values
that are similar to
the values I can see in the Mrtg graph.
The variable I monitor with mrtg/rrdtool is in Bytes.
For graphing the values I use the cgi: 14all.cgi
The "Options" field is:
Options[snPortCARStatSwitchedbits]: growright bits integer

Could this be the cause of my problem?

Are the data stored in the rrd expressed in bytes or in bits?

thank you very much
