we have field called ifInOctets which incremental field and its values in bytes.  
ifSpeed is in GBPs

polling inverval 120 seconds

My Formula  
((counter\_rate(max(ifInOctets))\*8)/60)/average(ifSpeed)

i tried to this but does not match with the solarwind 🙂  
as i want the graph over the time in solar winds it never more then 2% but my formula is not wrong i blieve so i want to know how we can get that exact how its been calculated.

Hello @Syed_Yaseen_Arham

Welcome to the Community!!

Both the chart does not look same as the time difference on X axis is not same on SolarWinds it is every 30 minutes chart & for Kibana it is every 5 minutes chart. On Lens Kibana can you set the timestamp for every 30 minutes & than compare the SolarWind Chart with Kibana Chart.

Thanks!!

Hi , if i notice time on x axis is not isssue as if i hover on it’s showing it as aggs of 1m on solarwind . It never goes above 2% if i check the solarwind graph.

so i check the solar wind LoadBalancer settings it has following 10m Statistics collection.

| Polling Method | SNMP |
| --- | --- |
| Polling Interval | 120 seconds |
| Statistics Collection | 10 minutes |
| Enable 64 bit Counters | Yes |
| Rediscovery Interval | 30 minutes |

Even i set the @timestamp of x-axis on our lens its showing above the 2% .
