Reports Bandwidth Usage - how it calculate

[zaji_nms]

Dear Expert

Once we check the DATA Utilization in Bytes, we found our usage (NagiosXI) is very high in compare with our one of Mobile Data Network provider, after that we never use this feature.

Can you please verify the Report is okay or not?

If Not, please remove the bug.

If Yes, please let us know how it calculate? We will take the rrd file as base (we trust MRTG (rrd file) or can say CHECK_XI_SERVICE_MRTGTRAF) is 100% correct).
Is there any way or option to view MRTG bps graph in the format of Usage in Bytes Graph? Can be add as feature in future, please add as a feature.

Time being, can you let us know how to calculate MRTG of bit per seconds to Bytes (DATA USAGE).

Regards

Do you have a reference for this? If you're pulling at layer2/3, the switch should show the most accurate information for that interface. If there is a bug with it, I'd like to get it filed.

I believe MRTG displays it in bits, and we're only polling this information. I don't think this is going to be possible unless your actual check metrics are reporting in bytes since Nagios cannot do math on the fly without a plugin of some sort.
