In Nagios XI we have the Switch and Router Wizard. It uses SNMP to graph the bandwidth, so as long as your router supports SNMP this can be done. Core can do this too but there is no wizard so it will need to be set up by hand.

Have you looked at our exchange to see if any of the other plugins will work for you? https://exchange.nagios.org/

Found that certain versions of Mikrotik firmware produce different results while monitoring bandwidth... so far 6.32.4 code seems most accurate.

rbuckle, thanks for that info. The devs are working on a version of the wizard that will let you select the output that you would like (in bits or bytes), I don't have an ETA on it yet though.

juanvidal_it, does that answer your questions?
