Re: [NV-L] xnmcollect throws away values?

[Leslie Clark <lclark@us.ibm.com>]

Martina, it sounds a little bit like
someone has configured the data to be rolled up and aged off. That is not
a feature of the product. Someone would have to add it. Is that possible?


To determine whether the problem is
with the grapher or with the data, you might try looking directly at the
data. If it is in flat files, you can use the snmpColDump command to display
the files in /usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect. 

This same text view of the datapoints
is available from the gui:
Tools...Data Collection  &
Thresholding  (or xnmcollect at the commandline)
Select a variable that is being collected
Verify that the frequency is as you
expect.
Click 'Show Data'
Select an instance in the top frame
of the dialog
View the datapoints for each node with
that interface instance, and the actual intervals (in the left-hand column)
If the datapoints are there, collected
on the proper interval, then you should be able to see them with xnmgraph.

Hi Leslie, 
 
unfortunately this doesn't work. 
No matter if Resolution by data or Resolution
User defined. 
The effect is the same that the statistic
gets smoothed.
 
I was looking in the serversetup, but also
there I can't find options for the snmpCollect. 
 
 
 
Greetings 
Martina

The data is most likely still there, but the viewer is smoothing the line
for you. If this is Unix or Linux, in the viewer, there are options on
the menu to specify the time period to show, and how much data to show
for that period.  I think it is under View. There is one for including
or excluding lines, and one for the data. You want the one for the data.
To see all of the data for the last month, set the viewing period to 30
days, and the resolution to 'by data'.

Subject	[NV-L] xnmcollect throws away values?

Hi list, 
  
we collect a MIB for 4 Weeks. Now ist seems that NetView throws away values
after a week and only keeps 10 percent of the collected values. 
So the tops of Aug/15 seem more plain every day, till only a line is left.
  
Can I modify the config anywhere? 
  
Bye, 
Martina
