Hello
When developing a new Dataminer “SNMP based” driver, what is your advice on how to deal with counter rollover?
For example: Interface BitsIn and BitOut counters.
Does Dataminer implement any “out of the box” mechanism to deal with SNMP counter rollover?
Thank you.
Best regards

Hi Bruno,
I believe that the best approach in this case is to use the following NuGet Packages to perform the bitrate calculation:
The methods available in this packages already deals with corner cases related to bit rate calculation (counter rollover, element restart, etc.)
More information in DataMiner Docs.
Hope it helps.
Hi,
The counters are typically used to calculate a rate instead of looking at the raw values. In that case there are rate calculators available that take the counter rollover into account. For more, see this blogpost here.

Thank you, Laurens and Miguel!
