[Observium] Graph errors and units

[Robin Cook]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me understand/confirm my thoughts on what some of the numbers actually mean in the errors graph.

For example I have an interface which is showing

Packets/sec



Now

Avg

Min

Max

Errors

Rx

0.00

0.00

0.00

0.00



Tx

3.22m

898.64u

0.00

3.23m

Discards

Rx

0.00

0.00

0.00

0.00



Tx

0.00

0.00

0.00

0.00


Am I right in saying this interface is not discarding any packets, but is encountering errors when transmitting? As for the values of 3.22m and 898.64u are these absolute values, e.g. 3.22 errors a second? Or because of the m is it 0.00322 errors a second? Being a 10−3

many thanks,

Robin

Its the later.
As the scale is in Packets per second these values tell you that your
interface has 0.00322 TX errors per second.
Thats something like 1 packet with errors every 5min in your interface.

Hey,

Its calculating it for an average of 3.22 milli errors per second.
Since observium is polling every 5th minute, it takes like 100 errors and
splits into from 300 -> 1 second, which makes this.
