Hi Matthias,
Storing this information would have too great an impact on the performance of the ports table, I think.
It would involve 4 extra fields in the ports table (it would be worthless to store "pps", as it would just be unicast+nonunicast).
To store this we'd need in/out counters and in/out rate. If we added this, you would be very unpopular with some of our larger installations... ;)
Are there really reasons to alert on non-unicast in the wild?
Thanks, Adam.
Adam.

Hi There
Is there a metric for normal packets per second and not only unicast packets (ifInUcastPkts_rate) and also a metric for non unicast packets per second. According to the doc at http://www.observium.org/docs/entities/#metrics_1 this is not existent... I would like to make an alert on high pps and if possible on high non unicast pps.
Any hint is appreciated.
Regards
Matthias
