[rtg] Traffic is wrapping

[Ryan DiRocco]

A combination of people have made enhancements.

I'd like to see some of the work from rtg-yahoo ported into .9 as we're
running the yahoo patch due to it's enhanced sql handling... we still
struggle with memory leaks and target rehashes though.

0.9? has there been devel work happening again on rtg!?!?!?!  Looks like svn
on sourceforge was written to back in jan of 2008!  I'm excited :)  Is
somebody maintaining rtg again, who?

We currently use RTG 0.8 to monitor ~4000 interfaces across 200 devices,
including a mix of FastE, GigE, and POS interfaces.  Since you're seeing OOR
values, I think you are using 0.74 still, and do not have an intelligent OOR
value in your rtg.conf (OOR is what RTG uses to throw out readings that
don't make sense), and a bug in the old version of rtgtargmkr.pl is
inserting 0s instead of calculating based on interface speed:

http://lists.grdata.com/pipermail/rtg/2004-February/000832.html
Set an intelligent OOR value in rtg.conf, and re-run rtgtargmkr.pl / restart
the poller, to see if the issue persists.

If you're still having problems, let us know some more about your situation,
such as what version you're running, the contents of rtg.conf, and the entry
from target.cfg for the GigE interface that's causing the error.

You might consider an upgrade to 0.9 CVS, as the new targetmaker is rather
robust -- there are various notes on the mailing list on getting it to
compile correctly.
