i'm writing a datadog ( http://www.datadoghq.com/ ) integration (uses pysnmp) and this is the only metric that's given me problems so far. you're saying that to get requests/sec or bytes/sec i need to know the previous value and the timestamp of the previous value?
as far as i'm aware neither the standard polling client nor the datadog graphing ui allows me access to that data directly. as an alternate option i could write a stand-alone monitor that pushes the same data but keeps the previous timestamp and value in memory to do what (i think) you're describing.
