[c-nsp] SNMP: cacti graphing of 6500 interfaces more accurately

[Tristan Gulyas]

All,

I've started to move a lot of our MRTG stuff over to our cacti-based 
graphing system (www.cacti.net) and so far, so good - although I am 
wondering how to get some better results out of the interface statistics.

Currently I am using a built-in cacti template for interface statistics 
which I believe bases itself on a 5 minute average counter.  We have another 
network monitoring system (Statseeker) which seems to give us substantially 
clearer results (not only does it poll every minute bit it seems to show 
traffic spikes more accurately).

Does anyone know where I can start looking for information?  Specifically, 
if there are any SNMP variables or OIDs worth collecting and graphing 
instead.

Thanks,
Tristan
