Windows 2008 64bit graph problems

[apperrault]

Greetings everyone,
We recently rebuilt a bunch of our systems on Windows 2008 64-bit R2 and the graphs we are getting in Cacti are not showing the same info we see when we are on the system. Specifically the Network graphs. On cacti, the graphs are hitting 115.13 M as a max, but on the box itself we have a Gigabit network card, that is steadily sitting at about 80% utilization.

I am using SNMP v2 and i have tried using the 64bit graphs, but nothing changes. I have even setup a new host, thinking that something was up with the old host, and i am getting the same info.

Does anyone have any thoughts? My boss is really looking for accurate metrics and is all over me.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

115mb max on the graph is a strong indication that you're using the 32bit templates, instead of the 64bit ones. They poll different OIDs. Delete the existing re-create using the 64bit network graph templates instead.

Look in the poller cache for that server, what are the OIDs it's using for the network interfaces?

Does Windows 2008 really support 64bit counters ?
I have not been able to use them.

Doh, you're completely right. Wasn't thinking.

No, Windows still does not support 64bit counters at all. Going to have to monitor the bandwidth at the switch level which should support 64bit traffic counters.
