Hello,
I am setting up traffic monitoring for our network using PRTG and a MikroTik router. My goal is to separate our National (domestic) bandwidth from our Global (international) bandwidth so we can track them independently.
I currently have this working using Mangle rules and a Queue Tree. I wanted to share my setup to see if I’m doing this the most efficient way, and also ask how you guys handle the slight data discrepancies that come with this method.
My config:
Step 1: Address Lists
Step 2: Mangle Rules
Step 3: Queue Tree
Step 4: Custom SNMP sensors according to OIDs in Queue Tree
While this works perfectly for getting the data into PRTG, the combined total of my Mangle queues (National + Global) is always slightly off than the physical traffic shown on my WAN/ISP interface sensor.
Is there a more accurate or "industry standard" way to achieve this?
Thanks in advanced.
