Heh.

Mentioned back in December on this list, I have been playing with an Net-SNMP 
extension[1].  Not being much of an RRDTool person, I setup a Perl script 
that uses Net::SNMP that is callable by Munin[2] to update an RRDTool 
database every five minutes.  (Is that too little resolution?)

I have been tracking qosBps as a GAUGE value, since deleting the root qdisc 
and recreating it results in qosBytes being erased.  Does anyone have a 
preferred way of obtaining the rate information?  I imagine it should be 
converted to bits?  Any other hints for producing useful graphs with RRDTool 
for traffic shaping statistics?

(Mine are rather bland... Bulk is full 95% of the time and there are only four 
classes, all sampled as GAUGE at a five minute resolution...)
