Dataminer: SNMP driver and how to deal with counter rollover

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,

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.
