Hi there,
I've set up an rmon alarm threshold for one of my 6500 Gi interfaces (see below). Unfortunatley, the "delta" sample result never triggers the alarm, since it's always way below what I expect. Furthermore, I notice far more negative values than what I would expect from the counters rolling over.
In order to confirm my threshold values and the counter reliability, I've performed some snmpget's over 1 minute and compared them with the interface counters on the Switch - all seems well with this!!
So in summary, is there a problem with the "delta" function within rmon ???
Cheers

Alarm 10 is active, owned by tmpinf1
Monitors ifXEntry.6.94 every 60 second(s)
Taking delta samples, last value was 15576
Rising threshold is 1100000000, assigned to event 1
Falling threshold is 800000000, assigned to event 2
On startup enable rising or falling alarm

Thanks for the reply. I've seen this doc before. Although very useful, it doesn't tackle the problem I'm seeing with the RMON delta function, when making use of the ifHCInOctets object.
Using SNMPgets on a 10Gb int every minute, shows decent variations (10^8). However, performing RMON delta's (1 min) gives very low values (10^4)!!
Cheers
