I'm doing a POC with LM and this was one of the things that I was concerned about.  I'm still learning the system and I appreciate any help I can get with this.

I have a 25Mbps fiber connection in a Gig port so interface utiliaztion % was nearly useless.  On that port, I added a custom property called "ActualSpeed" with a value of 25.  Then I went in and added the datasource for snmp64_If from the LM repository.

Thanks!
