Hi
I thought I would post here first, just in case what I am seeing isn't a bug, and just me just mis-understanding the calculations.
Just a quick setup - we currently are billed on a 95th percentile from an ISP, which we have two physical ethernet connections plugged into two different HP ProCurve switches. I have created a Bill under Traffic Accounting, and set the billing type as 95th @ 50 Mbps, and added both the ports for our connections so I am able to see both under "Bill Ports". This has been running for about 6 - 7 months now, calculating away.
While going back through our reports, I noticed that in September we had an overage marked in Observium as 11.4Mbps (Actual usage 61.4Mbps). However the bill we got from the ISP gave us an overage of 30.38Mbps (Actual usage 80.38Mbps). So I went to look deeper and got the break downs I needed.
Our ISP gave us the following for the highest 95th:
Link1: 50.375Mbps Link2: 30.005Mbps Total: 80.38Mbps
I then looked on Observium for the graphs for the two ports, and they reported the following for the highest 95th:
Link1: 49.64Mbps Link2: 30.44Mbps Total: 80.08Mbps
I can accept that two different systems there may be a very small discrepancy with the larger numbers - which is fine, however -- the problem arrives when the billing calculations comes in, and shows the values as above (11.4Mbps over, 61.4Mbps usage). I have uploaded the two port graphs and a screen grab from the billing page to show in more detail the above numbers here: http://imgur.com/a/iErfo
I just want to check I have not missed something that is staring me in the face in regards to the calculations, and if I am, please let me know! Thanks in advance.
