Have you looked at having MLM do it? I cannot tell you how, exactly, but
there were some pretty thrilling discussions of this sort of thing around
December. Shailesh Patel was wrestling with mib expressions and thresholds
with MLM. I believe it has fewer built-in restrictions that snmpCollect.
I'd
try the APM first.

That would work. But I was hoping that I could find someway in NetView to
do this. I don't really want to change the Vendor MIB if I can help it...

Yeah, but if I am only collecting once per hour, I think that it looks at
the time delta, the value delta, and calculates the units/hour based on
that. Isn't that the way snmpCollect works?
