[2013/06/16 12:52:57] #net-snmp <lloowen> Hello! Can anyone tell me which OID I need to monitor bandwidth? Is there a standard OID for this? I read here http://goo.gl/RQDRr that I have to calculate: ((difference in ifInOctets.1)*8*100)/((difference in seconds from previous measurement)*ifSpeed.1) .Is there another way?
[2013/06/16 15:06:22] #net-snmp <slee> lloowen: you very likely don't want to use ifInOctets/ifOutOctets on a modern system
[2013/06/16 15:06:49] #net-snmp <slee> lloowen: instead you want to use snmp v2 or v3 (not v1) and ifHCInOctets/ifHCOutOctets
[2013/06/16 15:07:50] #net-snmp <slee> lloowen: also ifSpeed often lies (eg. on the HP Flex10 fabric I am using it reports 2^32 bits per second when in fact the interface speed is 10Gbps)
