How to monitor bandwith in a Windows Server

[xerez]

Hi, What plugin can I use to monitor the bandwith in a Windows Server?

I tried to use this (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ge/details), and works, but finally I saw that it doesn't work with alerts.

Then I tested this (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... nt/details), but it has too much options and I am not able to understand very well.

If anybody can recommend me a plugin or help me to understand check_netint.

Thanks.

command_line $USER6$/check_wmi_plus.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -m checknetwork -u $USER8$ -p $USER9$ -a '$ARG1$' $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$
}

Code: Select all

define service {

service_description Network Interface
check_command check_win_network!Intel[R] PRO_1000 MT Network Connection
}

Thank you very much, but do you know another plugin that doesn't work with WMI?

I prefer don't use an account.

I prefer don't use an account.

Everything uses an account, it just so happens the check_nt program (NSCP) uses the account .\SYSTEM so you don't have to do any privilege assignment.

That said, you can get more rudimentery figures from a simple perfcounter:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_nt -H winhost -p 12489 -s nsclient -v COUNTER -l "\\Network Adapter(Intel[R] Ethernet Connection I217-LM)\Bytes Received/sec"

[root@localhost libexec]# ./check_nt -H winhost -p 12489 -s nsclient -v COUNTER -l "\\Network Adapter(Intel[R] Ethernet Connection I217-LM)\Bytes Sent/sec"
