Hi all,
I have an interface I am monitoring in NPM. We purchased 500x500 Mbps of bandwidth from our provider and so I had set that as the 'Custom Bandwidth' values in the interface properties.
Our provider allows us to burst above that speed so today we had a period of time where 700+ Mbps was passing through the interface. We have an alert set up that is supposed to let us know if this interface is exceeding 95% utilization. The alert did not trigger and when I looked into it the Out bps values in the database for the polls during this time were all NULL (the In bps values were still populated).
So my hunch is that it must not record values for a poll if they exceed what the Custom Bandwidth value is set to. I wanted to come on the forum here and ask if anyone could confirm for me if this is the case or if what I observed in this incident should not have happened.
