About the traffic statistics

Post by maxiao »

Hi,

I used nping to reproduce many traffics and saw it is about 300M bits/second using linux sar command.
But when I configured sflow in switches and in the query function of Nagiosna , it display about 300M Bytes/second. Is it one bug of portal?

Lets first check what is written in the sflow records, since whatever is written there should be faithfully represented within the NNA UI.

Establish an SSH session to your NNA machine and navigate to the flows/ directory of the source in question...
/usr/local/nagiosna/var/<source name>/flows
...and find the newest nfcap file that is not nfcap.current. Then run:

nfdump -r <newest nfcap file>

What is seen in the output - 300 M bits or M Bytes?
Feel free to post a sample of it here (scrub sensitive data please) as well as a screenshot of what you see in the NNA UI - thanks -
