SNMP with collectd and graphite
I'm trying to move the performance graphs available in the configuration utility outside of the device into our graphite environment. Following the documentation here (https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-concepts-11-1-0/tmos_snmp.html); here is the relevant part of my snmp.conf for collectd:
Type "if_octets"
Table true
Values ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.3" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.5"
Type "if_octets"
Table true
Values ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.10" ".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.1.2.1.12"
Then in graphite, I'm trying to do this:
diffSeries(lb01.snmp.if_octets.0.tx, timeShift(lb01.snmp.if_octets.0.tx,"-10s"))`
...I'm not yet worried about multiplying by 8 or dividing by 10 because the graphs just simply don't match, regardless of scale. Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?

Just in case anyone comes across this, the answer was much easier than I thought... graphite has a "perSecond" function which handles interpreting the data appropriately.

Has anyone a WORKING configuration example to get VS traffic data from F5 using collectd? I'm using cacti but I want to put fine grained data into my db. Thanks
