The graph is showing a rate, so it's errors per second, or 44 milli-errors per second or something like 13 errors in the 5 minute poller period.

Just for reference, this is the “show interface” for the port in the graph…I understand that “show interface” shows a cumulative number while the graph is not….but as you can see, there have been 1241 input errors since the last reset…..that is no where near 44m?

Hence my confusion

thanks

Subject: [Observium] units on error graphs?

Hi, sorry if this is obvious, but it just occurred to me that I don’t understand this graph. This comes from an Ethernet port on a cisco router….

What are the units??for example the “last in errors/s” is 44.25m????   44.24 million? That can’t be right.

Thanks in advance
