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.

traffic graphs
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).
