I suggest checking data collection templates (https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/data-collection.html#templates). Using templates with auto apply combined with instance discovery should do the trick.

Victor Kirhenshtein thank you for your support

i have created a template called " bandwidth "

i used the example as in - https://www.netxms.org/forum/general-support/bandwidth-accounting/

i have applied the template to two systems however i am not getting any readings.

the line / bar / pie / chart shows NO values

See picture attached of the " Last Values "

would you recommend that i enable " SNMP " on all the workstations and monitor the bandwidth via snmp?

any help greatly appreciated

Hi,

you have to provide actual configuration for those DCIs and information about node you are collecting them from - otherwise it's hard to tell what goes wrong.

Victor Kirhenshtein thank you for your reply

please find the configuration for the DCI Template called " DataUsage "

the daily count the daily or monthly traffic:

1. Create one DCI to collect the delta "in" on the interface (Step1-A-B)
2. Create a DCI to sum the daily consumption (Step2-A-B-C)
3. Create a DCI to sum the monthly consumption (Step3-A-B-C)

Same story for the "out" counter.
