snmpget v cacti value different?

[DwayneDibbley]

Im trying to graph the following single SNMP value

cifsNOpenFiles SCALAR read-only Counter32 1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.7.2.13.0

i have creaded a datatemplate with the above OID and data type set to COUNTER

poller gathers the data and the graph plots the values, however if i manually run a SNMPGET i get a value like Counter32: 13303 but in the RRD the values are alot larger ie 2.0342224948e+007

any hint on what im doing wrong ?

Thanks

Counter is calculating the difference between the value from the last poll and the current poll. e.g.:

Code: Select all

Last Poll:  1500
Current Poll: 1550
Counter Value = 1550 - 1500 = 50

The snmpget will get you the 1500 or 1550 value only.

If you want to see the 1500/1550 value you have to choose "GAUGE"

Changed to gauge deleted the rrd's and works a treat

Thanks
