"Monitoring custom 10GigE interfaces"
To view the discussion, visit: http://community.zenoss.org/message/70464#70464
--------------------------------------------------------------
(Zenoss 3.1.0) I have some fiber interconnect boxes from BTI Systems that use a non-standard format for SNMP interface monitoring. Zenoss doesn't discover any of the interfaces automatically. I created a custom monitoring template (because I was striking out at creating a modeling template) and it works for most interfaces, but some of the 10GigE interfaces have rediculous graph values of Terabytes and Petabytes; while others graph properly.
The interfaces have 64-bit byte counters, and doing the math manually shows the counter is reporting good values.
One Google search led me to try setting a maximum value of "147573952589676412920" for RRD to force it to detect the result as a 64-bit counter. This didn't work. I also found some reference to telling RRD it is a High Capacity interface, but I am not finding any instructions on how to do this. (ifHCInOctets vs ifInOctets)
Graphs:Â 1 good, 1 whacky.
