Data Transfer

Here's the manual way:

 

 

If it's for a specific node, then you'll want to use the LocalLB::NodeAddress::get_statistics() method and pull out STATISITCS_BYTES_IN and store that in an external database/file/etc. 30 days later, query the same statistic and subtract the two.

 

 

Another option is to just zero out the statistics with the LocalLB::NodeAddress::reset_statistics() on day zero and then query that stat on any given day after day zero and that will be your total.

 

 

If you are asking if the BIG-IP keeps this information, then I think the answer is no. We do keep some global statistics over time but not on a node by node basis.

 

 

Hope this helps!

Will the Bytes IN counter rollover back to zero at some point?

 

 

Also, is Bytes IN\OUT available via SNMP?

 

 

thanks

The counters are 64 bit numbers so they will roll over at 2^64 which is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes. So the answer is yes, but it will take a while.

 

 

As for stats via SNMP, I know that stats are available, and I'm almost positive they are available on a node address level. I just couldn't tell you where to look for them in the MIB.
