Though perhaps a method to disable use of HC counters on a per-device basis might be useful.

There are other benefits of V2, like bulkwalk! :)

Change snmp version to v1,
this will disable use HC counters.

Here nothing to do in our code,
since this is exactly firmware/hardware error.

Hi,

Ok im more confused now

I added 3 more of the same switches to monitor, and ive just noticed the first 4 ports on each of the switches dont have stats? But the other 5 ports do? And plans do too?

But what I’ve also noticed in the section=ports page, the first 4 ports are 64bit and the rest are 32bit?

Could this be the problem?

And also from the looks of it, YES the ifOutOctets does increase each poller cycle

Attached is a second poller output with debug

its probably because they do not change. If you poll the ifOutOctets again, has it increased?
If its the same every time Observium polls is then the rate is 0 as no new packets have exited that port.

HI,

The other strange thing I have noticed if I take my g1 main interface in port

Yes the ifInOctets are 0, but the ifOutOctets are 595141390

But yet observium is showing ifOutOctets as 0 ???

Same with broadcastpkts?

Any ideas?

Hi,

 write to vendor.. this device return empty counters (and not for all indexes):

ifHCInOctets.1 = 0
ifHCInOctets.2 = 0
ifHCInOctets.3 = 0
ifHCInOctets.4 = 0
ifHCInOctets.5 = 0

ifHCOutOctets.1 = 0
ifHCOutOctets.2 = 0
ifHCOutOctets.3 = 0
ifHCOutOctets.4 = 0

but some ports still return non-HC counters:
ifInOctets.6 = 1133938806
ifInOctets.7 = 555769688

ifOutOctets.1 = 595141390
ifOutOctets.2 = 708574072
ifOutOctets.3 = 4019307600
ifOutOctets.4 = 0
ifOutOctets.5 = 0
ifOutOctets.6 = 1351693276
ifOutOctets.7 = 1926878970

but anyway - we prefer HC counters,
and randomly empty counters seems as device or firmware broken.

Walk ifInOctets and ifOutOctets and see if those ports' counters are changing over time.

Hi All,

Im trying to work out if the is something wrong with my switch or observium?

Observium detects all the ports fine, vlans fine,

But its not showing any traffic on the ports?

And when I run the -dd in the poller.php the output shows that the is traffic on the ports?

Attached is the debug and a screenshot showing the ports in observium
