Zenoss SNMP graphs

Hello,

I am wondering why my Zenoss installation shows SNMP traffic throughput data polled from switches with gaps:traffic-graph.png

It seems to work ok when polling packets througput:

Any ideas on why that happens and what can be done to get graphs without gaps?

 

Best regards,

Kim Halavakoski

    I'm actually having that same problem with my switches but its even worse. My throughput graphs are almost useless because of that.throughput.png

    I have a bit of that on mine too.  It's not as bad as that but it still makes the graphs look bad.  Anyone know of a fix for this?

    The consensus in the #zenoss IRC channel is that this is an issue with Zenoss 2.4.x and appears to possibly be fixed in 2.5.

    I (virtually) guarentee that this problem is due to the known issue with using 32 bit integers.  I am guessing that your graphs that are under say 30 MB/s are not showing these graph problems as badly.  The problem is that the counters are rolling too quickly.  If your devices support 64bit ethernet interface counters, use those (Juniper does by default, donno about other vendors though.)

     

    You may have to blow away your RRD datafiles to get the graphing to start working correctly..
