Hi,
If you mean to count the daily or monthly traffic generated I can suggest the approach I'm using to perform that task:
- Create one DCI to collect the delta "in" on the interface (Step1-A-B)
- Create a DCI to sum the daily consumption (Step2-A-B-C)
- Create a DCI to sum the monthly consumption (Step3-A-B-C)
Same story for the "out" counter.
A simplified approach comes from the usage of the GetSumDCIValue, but as per current version (1.2.14) it doesn't work properly, so I had to use the custom attributes to store temporary values.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Marco
