Thanks for the reply. I have attached the grepped output of the poller above. I am really not sure why sometimes I get eth0bps
and others eth0negative
on occasion.
I have ran the poller every 5 seconds with debug, and grepped the eth0 interface in/out octets and calculated the difference for each 5 second run for a specific VM

It seems that the OutOctets count is pretty weird - I get negative values. Has anyone seen this before?
Strangely, I have a PRTG installation which reports the data accurately and smoothly. I am unsure what LibreNMS is doing differently here. Both use eth0 and both use SNMP.
- Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can investigate why snmp is producing this data?
- Does the missing port speed, as it’s a VM interface make any difference to RRDTune?
Thanks
