Network traffic per OID

AntonyP · Post by **AntonyP** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 11:21 pm

Is it possible to add network traffic test for a specific OID, added to the current "per interface" test??

We have some Stratacom equipment which have virtual if's, so it's impossible to have network traffic tests for them, although we know each OID.

Thanks

Looks like different manufacturers use different (enterprise) OIDs for such interfaces, right? So, you have to provide OID manually. Even 2 OIDs: one for incoming packets, another one for ougoing traffic.
May be we implement "re-calculate reply" option instead. It can be useful for any test method...

I am sorry, perhaps i was misunderstood. The traffic monitor test does not allow me to set the OID manually, it uses the interfaces of the device instead. Or is there a way to set the OID manually and i have not seen it?

I understand.
Traffic Monitor uses SNMP requests just like SNMP Get test method, in addition it recalculates result like Reply = ((number_of_packets - previous_number)/time). So, if we add some "expression" option to SNMP Get test method, it will be able to show traffic.

So, is it gonna be added in the "to do" list?? Maybe low priority?
