Re: [NV-L] snmpCollect vs nvcollectord

Your v2 devices should respond to a
v1 request. The Counter64 would be the main reason for using the
new one. If you intend to monitor interface bandwidth utilization, and
the interfaces in question are high-speed and actively used, then the data
you collect with Counter32 may be inaccurate, but worse, you won't know
if it is accurate or not. So for me, if there is an intention to monitor
or collect bandwidth using Netview, then I would do the database.
I have not implemented this for any
customers yet, though I practiced the database install on a linux vmware
system and that went ok. Check the archives for other thoughts on
the subject.

| [NV-L] snmpCollect vs nvcollectord |

A question to the all-knowing and wise NetViewers
out there…
I’m about to install NV 7.1.5 (not an upgrade)
in our dev environment, and am trying to decide whether to go with the
snmpCollect (snmpv1) daemon or the nvcollectord (snmpv1/v2) daemon. As
you probably already know, the latter would involve installing DB2.
We do have v2 devices, but won’t they respond
to a v1 request? Is the only reason to go with v2 for the Counter64
capability?
Thanks in advance for your wisdom and input!
Peace,
