[Devmon] T or even P bits speed output in 'home made'-cisco-n7000 switch template

[Peter W. <pet...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I currently want to monitor our cisco n7000 switch using devmon.

I took the current cisco-n6000 template, since it is using the 10GB
Highspeed ports and our 7000 switch is using many of these 10Gbps ports. It
is also based on this article with suggestions from Joshua Krause:
https://sourceforge.net/p/devmon/mailman/message/19631280/

The good part: It does gather all kind of data. ;-)

The bad part: It shows over time many spikes whereas the scale is boosted
to T of even P-bit, making the output less useful.

Perhaps this has to do with the template that was copied, but perhaps it is
just just the flapping from the maximum number of positions.
(32bits/64-bits). But then again, I read 64-bits counters.

I try to add ifInErrors, to remove redundant interfaces that were
previously shown. Lending this from the if_err-test the number of interface
shown reduced to the same amount that is shown with if_err and if_dsc-test.
But underneath the output for all devices is shown to devmon and perhaps
that makes it want to update for example Ethernet4_6 twice?!

My current devmon setting is to query the switch every 60seconds

CYCLETIME=60

DEADTIME=180

CLEARTIME=180

NUMFORKS=10

MAXPOLLTIME=30

SNMPTIMEOUT=2

SNMPTRIES=5


Any hints would be very welcome.
