How can I show the description also?

Post by phyo »

Dear all,

In my project, we have monitored Cisco switches interfaces traffic. What I want to know is in the performance graph of each interface traffic, I also want to see the description. Because network engineer write description for every port such TE 0/0/0/0 connect to Switch etc. Currently I am using check_iftraffic64.pl to monitor the interface traffic.

Thanks.

I would make the service description match the interface description, then when you view the performance graph it will be shown along the top of the graph just like any other service.

You mean, we have to use the description instead of Port name?

Thanks.

Whatever is in the service description field is what will show up in the title bar of your performance graphs. I can't really think of a way around this at the moment.
