Port utilisation threshold alerting issue

I'm monitoring 2 switches (multiple ports).

All ports are 1GB and the graphed I/O data is in Bits/per sec. I've set the threshold to 900000000 but I am being alerted when it hits 8057629.0833.

I presume it's a relational problem between the ports monitored speed and the threshold limits but my maths don't seem to add up.

Thold v 0.3.9
Cacti 0.8.7b

Threshold works on the raw values, which are in BYTES/second.

Hmm, but that would be the opposite problem...

I've edited the threshold to 125,000,000 but still getting erroneous alerts

Is your nic reporting in bits, bytes, etc...? Which graph template are you using, and what is the CDEF applied to that template?
