An individual port bits graph has a 95th column in the legend.
Observium polls every 5 minutes. Its theoretically changeable, but requires the deletion of all historical data, so is a bad idea :)

Hi,
I’m using CE.
Basically what I did was run the traffic graph for my main router to the facility’s upstream (uplink basically). I did the entire month of June to the exact second.
I just did a quick “last month” output
Total
In 60TB
Out 60TB
Agg 120
How would I convert this to Mbps in 95th? Sorry, still learning this calculation.
How often does the CE version poll data anyway and can it be changed?
Phillp Baker stated that it shows Mbps as “M”, so if I figured this out right, the above AS IS is 200MBps. But, is Observium CE stating this in 95th or do I have to figure this out manually what 95th it will be?
Please note what I quoted before “They also state they bill me on bandwidth utilization, not data used.” Anyone know what they might mean by this? I haven’t asked them yet, been going back and forth but slow responses.

Are you using CE or Pro?
With Pro the best thing would be to create a bill which matches the ports that your provider is billing, that way you'll be basically collecting the same data that your provider is.
With CE, you can look at the '95th' line on traffic graphs. The red line is approximated 95th, but it's not accurate since we don't store 5-minute data for a full month.

Hi,
My data center bills me based on 95th percentile and Mbps, but Observium shows traffic as bits/second.
My monthly allowance is 100Mbps, how would I convert that to the bits/second in 95th? They also state they bill me on bandwidth utilization, not data used.
Finally, they state they use 5 minute intervals for data collection, I guess that’s also called ‘polling’ if I’m not mistaken? I could not find any info on how often the data is collected.
Just to clarify, if I got the calculation right – 100Mbps = 30TB /mo (rounded off).
