This front-page module is legacy stuff from before we had alerting.

We don't remove it because people like using it when they don't want to set up alerting. It doesn't have any of the features of an alerting system though, like actually alerting or acknowledgement and the like.

Thanks Michael,

Explanation helped a lot, meanwhile is there a way to ACK these alarms?

Hi,

The difference between the front page value and the graph value is due to the graphs averaging the number over the polling interval and dissipating it as a rate per second. The front page is showing the absolute delta value.

For instance, 25 errors in 5min = 83m/sec

Different devices report slightly different things as interface errors. Some could simply be drops as a result of traffic shaping and not actually an "error" at all.

Hope this helps,

Michael
