Hi,

I am measuring a performance graphs of Checkpoint Firewall.
I have an OID value which is increasing, for example for accepted packets.
I am trying to figure out how to measure the rate; how many packets per minute.

I have tried using Absolute, Derive types for data point, but it doesnt change. It still shows the actual value of the counter.

It feels like something needs to be restarted or reset.

P.S. I've restarted the box and the services.

Thanks.

Set the type to derive and delete the RRD file that got created. Sounds like the file got created while the type was set to guage.

Which file are you talking about? And how do I delete it?

Thanks.

I can't directly answer that as I don't know what the name of your data point is, but see if we can get you close enough

cd $ZENHOME/perf/Devices

In there you should see a folder for the device in question. cd into it and do an ls
This should show you a bunch of RRD files. On of them should be named just like the datapoint you are trying to graph. Delete (or move it somewhere else to be safe).

After a few polling intervals the rrd file should get re-created with the proper type set. It might take upto 3-4 polling intervals for data to show up on the graph.

Dpetzel,

Do you know why some data points show NaN or 0 even though OIDs produce the actual data on the device?
I think there is a way to reset them or like we did with this - delete the RRD file.

Thank you.
