I have a question and I need to understanding around the IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.x mib. Here's what I'm doing... I have nagios setup with check_snmp I want it to do this check_snmp --oid="IF-MIB::ifInOctets.235" -P 2c -l -C 'community' -H <a href="http://switch.example.com">switch.example.com</a> it returns back the following value. OK - 2840686911 | IF-MIB::ifInOctets.235=2840686911c;;;; I need to set a warning and critical alert at a certain level. what does 2840686911 represent bits per second? I need nagios to start warning at 75 Mbs and go critical at 95 Mbs. I can't get a handle on what the ifInOctets is telling me about the interface. Can somebody straighten me out. Thanks in advance. ebm
