Switch Transceiver Value from mW to dBm

Votes:

0

Hello,

We have a lot of extreme Networks Switches and want to monitor the values from the sfp modules.

I Receive values that are in the format of mW. But i’m really looking forward to get values in dBm.

For that i need the log(10).. does anyone have an idea to do so? Maybe a batch?

Thankful Alex

Alex,

PRTG doesn't have any means of doing log(10) calculation at this time. So any modification here would have to be done externally with some kind of script. How are you getting the readings from the device at this time?
