Re: Network Monitoring

Perhaps you could elaborate on the "Milliseconds delay can cost money
in this case" aspect, so people fully appreciate the requirement. It's
not as though collecting data every 5 minutes means you lose
visibility of everything that happens in between polling cycles, but
clearly interface stats like bits per second get averaged out.

Have you considered the impact of such frequent polling, both in terms
of management traffic and managed device performance overhead?

cheers,
Dale
