How to monitor Windows/Linux Network Interface Bandwidth?

[igsadmin]

Hi, some are VM, some are physical machine.

For the VM's, if they are VMware VM's then I have a plugin that can report the guest VM network usage. This is handy as it is OS independent.

Check out box293_check_vmware here:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... re/details

Specifically Guest_NIC_Usage.

Hi, I went through the plugins, it is very good plugins...
Will try it out..
Can this plugins generate the performance graph in Nagios?

Using the Switch/Router Monitoring wizard should work for monitoring the network interface bandwidth on Windows or Linux boxes as well. Example:

Yup, i tired this in my environment...
Just hope the Nagios team can bundle this into the Win/Linux host monitoring.

Yes, here is an example:

Code: Select all

Example:
box293_check_vmware.pl --check Guest_NIC_Usage --server 192.168.1.211 --guest "vSphere Management Assistant (vMA)"

Output:
OK: {Rate (Rx:236 kBps / 96%)(Tx:11 kBps / 4%)} {Packets (Rx:3,669)(Tx:875)}|'Rate Rx'=236kBps 'Rate Tx'=11kBps 'Packets Rx'=3669 'Packets Tx'=875
