    Hi!

    I am wondering is it possible to measure monthly data transfer (or for some other period of time) on Cisco L3 switch with Pandora. I created network server module (Remote SNMP network agent, incremental data), but all I see is bit rate at the time of measuring (i.e. for every 5 min). SNMP OID I’m using is IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.48

    with Remote SNMP network agent, incremental data you are measuring data between times if the agent time interval is set at 300 seg, the formula is:
    (data_new – data_old) / (timestamp_new – timestamp_old) = data per sec

    but if you set a post process equal at time interval, then it shows data (aprox) between measures.

    i do this for all fw, switches, links, etc…

    Hi chejov and thanks for your replay!

    In that case, I misunderstood what that modul measure and is not what I need. Is there any way to measure data transfer?

    The “SUM” report type made the calculation for you, for example, to know how much bytes has been transferred in the last week.
