Hi all, I am getting in and out bytes using snmpwalk through crontab every 5 minutes and updating the rrd using 'N'. So what can be the reason for getting max value greater than actual interface bandwith. (i.e. if the int b/w 8Kbytes/s, the max value exceeds beyond 8Kbytes/s). Max value is obtained using graph function. (This happens for currnet value also. Currnet value is obtained using fetch command). Just for reference: 1. defined rrd file as follows: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.28/bin/rrdtool create --start $UT $1/$2.rrd \ DS:input:COUNTER:600:U:U DS:output:COUNTER:600:U:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 2. updating the rrd file (via crontab using snmpwalk) using: system("/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.28/bin/rrdtool update $LEASED_PATH/$FF[0].rrd N:$IN_HASH{$bytes}:$OUT_HASH{$bytes}"); 3. getting max value by using: $A=`/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.28/bin/rrdtool graph /tmp/$cust.png --start -$duration DEF:inoctets=/home1/noc/leased/$cust.rrd:input:MAX DEF:outoctets=/home1/noc/leased/$cust.rrd:output:MAX PRINT:inoctets:MAX:%lf PRINT:outoctets:MAX:%lf |grep -v x"`; regards anant -- Unsubscribe mailto:rrd-users-request@list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=unsubscribe Help mailto:rrd-users-request@list.ee.ethz.ch?subject=help Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
