I'm writing a script to pull data from a NetApp filter, I'm trying to get networking data but looking at the MIB file I can see metrics like ifHighOutDiscards, ifLowOutDiscards and if64OutOctets.

What do these numbers mean? Do I need to convert them to something?

  • What is the problem exactly? They are defined in detail in their MIB, e.g. http://protocolsoftware.com/documents/mibs/netapp.mib.txt states ... if64OutOctets OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX Counter64 MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters. This object returns all of the 64 bit unsigned integer." – k1eran Oct 13 '15 at 08:48
  • Hello k1eran, the problem was that I was totally blind to how this works. Doing a bit of research with a person that manages the devices i'm working with i've learned that the data shown is actually the transmitted count since the device has been up and running. – user3439846 Oct 16 '15 at 18:54
