Cacti graphs showing different results compared to Cricket

Post by fireblade »

hey,

I'm currently running cacti version 0.8.6h and monitoring a Cisco Router 7600 VXR.
My problem is that the graph for the interfaces are not showing propper results at all compared to cricket which i have also installed to monitor my router.

attached is my a picture from cacti and cricket showing two different graphs for the same router's interface. I'm using SNMP 2 also.

any suggestions?

cricket is able to graph interface utilization correctly.

Are you sure you chose the 64 bit counters in Cacti ?

I don't really know where to set the counter to 64bit on cacti. does it have to do with anything concerning counter bits on my cisco router also... a snmpget command on my router shows the follows:

IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.1 = Counter32: 180991165
IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.2 = Counter32: 358841665

so do these also have ot be changed? and where can i change the counters to 64bit in cacti?

thank you for your help

Hi

for graphing network usage > ~ 114 mbits/s, you need to use SNMP v2 and 64-bit counters.

Go to devices, select your device, click on "Create Graphs for this Host", choose the interface you want to graph and select "In/Out Bits (64-bit Counters").
