pnp4nagios 0.6.25 BULK Mode with NPCD

[Box293]

Excellent, once you wrap your head around it everything starts to make sense. Don't worry I went through all the same frustrations you did when I learnt it

[Pikmin]

Thanks for all your help It does get quite frustrating at times. I will be sleeping better with this issue out of the way

EDIT:
I spoke too soon, there are still issues with this When bandwidth goes high, the units change to MB from KB but the graph is not displaying this properly, 11 MB barely shows, as if it's 11 KB. I have a feeling that's not gonna be easy to fix

[rkennedy]

Can you post a screenshot to give us an example of what you're seeing?

[Pikmin]

I took a screenshot last night. You can clearly see 11 MB but on the graph it's barely showing
MAX and AVG are wrong too now, as the link Max is 12.5 MB

I decided it was time to try another plugin as check_mrtgtraf doesn't seem to want to play nice

Trying to follow jrdalrymple advice and check_mrtg looks promising but it can only do one variable at a time so I created two checks, one for incoming one for outgoing. The units seem to be in bytes, hopefully they will not change

One problem I have so far is that the critical and warning tresholds don't appear to be detected properly, I get the Max.Value and crit and warn but not any actual warnings on the output. Can someone confirm this is normal?

Code: Select all

 ./check_mrtg -F /var/www/mrtg/192.168.199.1_5.log -a MAX -v 1 -w 22 -c 33
Max. value = 265384 |value=265384;22;33;

In Nagios the output looks like this

Tunnel0 Incoming
OK 11-18-2015 10:48:19 0d 0h 40m 41s 1/3 Max. Incoming = 265384

Tunnel0 Outgoing
OK 11-18-2015 10:43:32 0d 0h 45m 28s 1/3 Max. Outgoing = 218022


The old check_mrtgtraf for comparison purposes
Tunnel0
OK 11-18-2015 10:43:12 0d 0h 45m 48s 1/3 Traffic OK - Avg. In = 327.9 KB/s, Avg. Out = 212.9 KB/s

Can you post the template code here in a code block please.

It's working!!

I wish the documentation of check_mrtg plugin actually described that it never reports warning or critical on the terminal.

Code: Select all

Right now the link is heavily used but the plugin doesn't show critical
./check_mrtg -F /var/www/mrtg/192.168.199.1_5.log -a MAX -v 1 -w 11250000 -c 11875000 -l Incoming
Max. Incoming = 12120977 |Incoming=12120977;11250000;11875000;

However, both nagios and pnp4nagios are reporting and showing critical. Yay

[rkennedy]

For clarification, it looks like it should be reporting critical - this is what you want correct?

If not - can you post the two service definitions for Tunnel0 and Tunnel0 Incoming?

[Pikmin]

It appears to be working correctly, thanks. I wasn't aware that the check_mrtg plugin doesn't report anything to do with warning and critical when run in terminal, unlike check_mrtgtraf
Not sure if this is a bug or intentional but it does make it harder to test stuff
