I asked several years ago if we could custom set speeds on ports for alerting purposes and adam said no.


We have a lot of gear that runs at far less than wire rate, but doesn't support cisco style "bandwidth" commands, so the subinterface rate can't be changed over SNMP.

Thanks, find this field: "port_descr_speed".

It would be really cool if I can see utilization in % concerning speed from descr.

Hi,

This currently isn't used for much, besides being put into a database field.

It can be used in the alerting/grouping systems, but I'm considering removing it.

Hello, all!

If I use port description like "Peering: something [40Mbit]" how can I use speed in Observium?
Does interface speed (from IfAlias) saved to DB?
I expect that I can see traffic graph and select scale to this speed.
