Fix 64bit counters in Interface Traffic graphs
Sometimes you want to convert some interfaces from 32bit interface counters to 64bit. Normally you should go in Data Sources page, find data source for wanted graph, change its input type, then reset maximum in rrd file, then reset the maximum in database. Too many movements. To automate this I made little plugin - Fix 64bit Counters.
With this plugin you only click on image near the graph you want to convert, and all the dirty work is made by script.
Installation is simple, like any other plugin - just copy its folder in plugins directory, enable it in Plugin Management, then give rights to users in User Management, then go to Settings/Misc, check settings to be like in the screenshot and hit Save:
Hit save for one time even if settings from the beginning are totally like in the screenshot - just in case.
Also you can choose graphs to convert in the “Graph Management” page. Just select needed graphs, choose a “Fix 64bit Counters” action in dropdown and hit “Ok”.
If graphs could not be converted, you will receive corresponding message and when you press “Continue” it will fix all the graphs that it can fix.
Fixing process is performed after the next run of poller (this is due to the need to edit rrd file), so 64bit counters are begin to work only after two polls. Checks are rather thorough, plugin checks SNMP version (it should be 2 or greater) and every SNMP query constraints.
May be this plugin would save a day or two for someone.

Tried it for a few and get for my windows boxes :

Looked at the poller cache, then tried snmpget :
[root@cacticentos ~]# snmpget -v 2c -c brad1 zels2012.brc.gbl .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.16777220
IF-MIB::ifHCOutOctets.16777220 = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID
Any quick way I can fix it and revert back to the old counters ?

Looks like some problem with SNMP on that box.JorisFRST wrote:[root@cacticentos ~]# snmpget -v 2c -c brad1 zels2012.brc.gbl .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.16777220

Just go to settings/misc and set appropriate "SNMP query to search" and "Desired SNMP query".JorisFRST wrote:Any quick way I can fix it and revert back to the old counters ?

No and yes. It's windows, you know. No 64 bit counters, you know (at least to my knowledge). If you don't trust me, ask in the windows forum.

icon shows up only near graph that complies to "SNMP Query to Search" parameter. for example, it won't show up near the 64bit graphs if you are looking for the ordinary graphs.Sirup wrote:I installed the plugin, enabled it in the plugin managament tab and granted the rights in the user tab. also checked the settings in settings/misc.
but there is no icon showing up next to the graphs?

replace "<?" with "<?php" in script bodies.Sirup wrote:found little "bug". i konw the reason why the plugin is not working here - but maybe there shouldn't be all that code inside the pop up window.
or just make php to be not so strict with script boundaries by editing php.ini
