I don't think the "spikes" are Tobin's issue. I suspect that Cricket is the
cause here, compounded by the fact that what Network Appliance has in there
MIB is not typical units. Most systems report "octets". The NetApp is
reporting kilobytes of traffic. Since Cricket is assuming octet counts,
when the counter rolls over, Cricket is trying to compensate by
"guessing" the counters maximun value, and correct the received value for
the roll over.
What we need from Jeff, is a method to either set a maximum value for a
counter, on a target by target base, or a means to scale the incoming values
on SNMP obtained data, without having to resort to external scripts.
