Bandwidth monitoring

Post by davidha »

Hi.
I am looking to do monitoring of bandwidth used by Solaris/Linux/Windows servers.
Is there a way to do In and Out bandwidth check in one command?
Thank you.

The check itself no, each Nagios check can only do one check, so two will have to be scheduled.

Hi.
The point is, when I do "Network Switch/Router" wizard it does give me a bandwidth check with a PNP4Nagios graph
of both in and out bandwidth.

Ah, you want them both in the same graph, thats a little different. And the Switch/Router wizards uses an external program for that. However, it is possible but would take some configuration outside of the GUI to make it happen for you. However, there is a feature that is included on the 1.7 that will be uploaded later today called the graph Explorer that really make amazing looking graphs and might be worth the trouble of downloading and setting up.

I've already got the graphExplorer, but still would like to have both In and Out on the same graph on PNP4Nagios as well as a zoom option.

We're doing some development on some graph templating that might allow this to be easier
