|query_ifSpeed| returns the wrong value

[TheWitness]

Disorganizer,

This topic is way confusing now. The original issue with some vendors reporting in snmp ifSpeed incorrectly seems possible if you adapter is somehow having difficulties keeping a 1000BT connection and reverting to 100Tx instead. That would cause the values to keep changing, but only if there is also a re-index event (reboot, etc.).

I would force the adapter to 1000BT and see if it stablizes. Otherwise, the tool is doing what it is supposed to. Therefore, my confusion.

@thewitness:
the adapters are fixed gbit (gbic adapters on cisco switches) and ifspeed is reporting correctly as gprint value.
nevertheless, the rrd_maximum=ifspeed does not work in the presets when creating a data source. same also is happening for 10mbit fixed ports (they are set to 100000000).
so i believe either ifspeed is not evaluated by cacti during datasource creation at all (as it always uses the default value) or something else is "broken". i hope the syntax is use as preset ("rra_maximum as field, |query_ifSpeed| as content") is correct (i know i need a /8, but i left the defaults for now).


EDIT:
i see my problem was already reported as bug id 0000534, but noone is assigned yet. so hopefully this is just a small bug and will be fixed fast *g*
