RE: [NV-L] NetView Bandwidth Usage?

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

The MIB Application Builder is there
to help you to add mib functions to 
your menu, but it does not support
mib expressions, as defined in 
/usr/OV/conf/mibExpr.conf. The data
collectiond daemon, snmpCollect, does
support expressions. And the xnmgraph
command also supports mib expressions.
The menus are designed for you to add
things by adding your own registration 
files in /usr/OV/registration/C. So
you can do all sorts of things. Someone on
this forum gave this tip years ago:
you can use the mib application builder to
make a mib appl, then alter the output
to use an _expression_. I did that, and
then moved the function to a regular
registration file so it would not get 
overwritten. You can copy the sample
below into a file like 
     MyMibApps.reg
and put it in /usr/OV/registration/C
Then run 'ovw -verify' to make sure
there are no syntax errors.
The next time you start your Motif
map, the functions will appear on the
menu under Monitor..Network Activity.

Check to make sure the mibs named in
these functions match the names of the
expressions in /usr/OV/conf/mibExpr.conf.
Also note that these will try to 
graph all interfaces on the selected
device, which these days can be a lot.

For more information on xnmgraph, see
the man page, or the Admin Reference.
For more information on registration
files, see the Programmer's Guide.

Hi David!
 
I collect BandwidthUtilHdx (8*100*(IFin+IFout))/IFSpeed
and use it to graph historical
reports in Crystal Reports. 
It gives a percentage value, but
you need the Interface Speed to 
get it.
For real time statistics, I only
know the built in Monitor – Graph 
Interface Traffic tool. That tool
gives the number of packets back, 
so you dont see the exact bandwidth
usage.
 
Best regards, Laszlo

Can NetView do real time statistics
on network bandwidth usage?  Thanks.
