Zenoss Core 5 - Interface SNMP metrics send throughput using octet values. When forwarding this information on to OpenTSDB, I need to convert the metrics to bit/sec.

While the Zenoss dashboard graphs perform the calculation and displays what I need locally in graphs, the metric which is sent to OpenTSDB shows in an octet format and Grafana cannot perform a calculation on it to show bits/sec.

I need to know if there is a way for me to forward a modified interface metric to an external OpenTSDB in bits/sec.

I found a transform but I am not sure this will help me.

http://wiki.zenoss.org/Transforms_-_Nice_Interface_Events

Please let me know what my options are.

Thanks,

Ken

It looks likehttp://wiki.zenoss.org/Transforms_-_Nice_Interface_Events will not help me since it only modifies event data and not metric data forwarded to OpenTSDB.

I assume that Zenoss could intercept the metric by name before the data is stored in OpenTSDB and perform a calculation similar to an event Transform. Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,

Ken
