Network Weathermap and Bandwidth

[rstogsdill]

Hello all, I am new to cacti and weathermap but I am liking it so far. I have my inital weather map and it looks pretty good except I dont think the links are reporting the right bandwidth usage. I can fire up a dvd download and the link never goes beyond purple. How do you get the correct bandwith usage reported in the links?

I have 5 1G switch(s) 2x 48 port and 3x 24 port uplinks 1 4G quad server uplink and a 20Mb/s fiber connection. None of these seem to be reporting the right usage.

# That's All Folks!

[rstogsdill]

Anyone? There is no way my weathermap is reporting correct usage. It never goes above 10/15% even when I saturate the network with a large transfer.

[Howie]

Do the cacti graphs look ok? They use the same data files...

[rstogsdill]

The graphs report the same as the maps. Everthing looks ok, just that the usage is way below what I expected. I know we are hitting the network harder than what is being reported. Not sure how to resolve this.

[Howie]

How do you know?

What is your other source for the same information?

(also, don't forget that Cacti averages over 5 minutes, so unless your big transfer lasts a while, it will show a lower value)

^^ this. Thanks.
