Port Bandwidth Graphing seems wonky

Post by adamh »

I have a few SonicWalls setup to be monitored in XI. The port bandwidth doesn't seem to be "real world." It show less than 1 mbps on connections that I know are using much more. The graphs show spikes and usage so it seems proper except for the way the thresholds are set. Has anyone witnessed this issue before? Is it a problem with MIB data? Or a setting that can be adjusted. The graphs are looking nice, but I can't make a case saying the connection is fine if it shows .75 mbps as their usage, know what I mean?

Is this on a non-English system? Sometimes when other languages represent numbers differently, one-thousand might be "1.000" instead of "1,000" which is quite literally orders of magnitude different.

Thanks tmcdonald. Character set is UTF-8 So no, I'm in the US and no not a non-english. But it does seem to be that much off 1.000/1,000.

Are all of the bandwidth graphs for all of the switches that you are monitoring wrong or just the Sonicwall device you are monitoring?
In the following folder, there is the config file for the Bandwidth check, could you post is here so we can review it?

Code: Select all

/etc/mrtg/conf.d/

Re: Port Bandwidth Graphing seems wonky

Post by tgriep »

Are all of the bandwidth graphs for all of the switches that you are monitoring wrong or just the Sonicwall device you are monitoring?
Can you run the following and post the output here?

Code: Select all

locale

That's funny, when I run locale I get en_US.UTF-8
Can you run a snmpwalk in the device and then attach the /tmp/walk.txt file here?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk "IP Address" -v 2c -c "Community Name" >/tmp/walk.txt

It looks like the snmpwalk timed out so can you run it again like below and upload the walk.txt file?

Code: Select all

snmpwalk "IP Address" -v 2c -c "Community Name" -t 600 >/tmp/walk.txt
Can you also run the following and post the output?

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/*release
locale
cfgmaker -V
