Traffic 64 service
The Traffic 64 service monitors the bandwidth consumption of a switch port or NIC. This service uses 64-bit SNMP values to calculate bandwidth consumption, which makes it more appropriate for monitoring high-throughput interfaces.
- Configure SNMP on the device. For more information, see the manufacturer's documentation.
- Login to N-able N-central.
- Click View > All Devices and click the name of a device.
- Click Settings > Properties and ensure the Use SNMP.
- Click Save if required.
- Click Monitoring > Status and click Add,
- Enter
1for the number of instances of the Traffic 64 service that you would like to associate to the device - Click Apply.
- Click the Traffic 64 service and click the Service Details tab.
- In Interfaces to Monitor, select the NICs/ports that you would like to monitor.
- Click OK.

| Metric Name | Calculation |
|---|---|
| Total Traffic Throughput (Bits/Second) | ((ifHCInOctets2- ifHCInOctets1) + (ifHCOutOctets2- ifHCOutOctets1)) * 800 / (sysUpTime2 – sysUpTime1) |
| Incoming Traffic Throughput (Bits/Second) | ((ifHCInOctets2- ifHCInOctets1) * 800) / (sysUpTime2 – sysUpTime1) |
| Outgoing Traffic Throughput (Bits/Second) | ((ifHCOutOctets2- ifHCOutOctets1) * 800) / (sysUpTime2 – sysUpTime1) |
| Total Bandwidth Utilization (%) | (ifHCInOctets2- ifHCInOctets1) + (ifHCOutOctets2- ifHCOutOctets1) * 80000 / ((sysUpTime2 – sysUpTime1) * ($upbitspersecspeed + $downbitspersecspeed) * 1048576) |
| Incoming Bandwidth Utilization (%) | (ifHCInOctets2- ifHCInOctets1) *80000 / $downbitspersecspeed * 1048576 * (sysUpTime2 – sysUpTime1) |
