Wireless Clients

[orani]

I have an HP MSM 720 Wireless Access Controller and some MSM 466-R Access Points.

Is there any plugin/script/way to monitor how many clients are connected or the bandwidth they use?

This plugin may work:

Or this one:

As for bandwidth, you might be able to monitor the access point using MRTG.

I thought about MRTG but and i read some documentations but still i dont get how it works.

I ran

Code: Select all

yum install mrtg

and completed succesfully but

i cant figure out what i have to do with the .log file, what is the use of it and how i create and configure it.


As far as wireless clients plugins you gave i will check them both tommorow and i will get back to you as soon as possible with feedback.

Thanks for help and support

I'll be honest, I use Nagios XI and it has a switch / router wizard that automates the MRTG configuration files which makes things so much easier. I've not had to configure it from scratch.

Basically MRTG polls the device every 5 minutes and collects the data and dumps it into an RRD file.

You then configure Nagios to query those RRD files using the pluing check_rrdtraf which returns the performance data and Nagios creates it's own RRD files so you get performance graphs.

This should help:

I finaly tested the two plugins but i have bad news.

When i run the plugin about APs from command line i get

Code: Select all

Timeout: No Responcse from "ipaddress" 

the other plugin (controller) gives me

Code: Select all

/bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

[orani]

If i run the controller script with sh or bash command (not ./) i get this:

Code: Select all

sh check_msm_controller.sh -H 192.168.110.1 -C 0@5@_P@bl1c
: command not foundr.sh: line 3: 
: command not foundr.sh: line 5:

'heck_msm_controller.sh: line 10: `for parameter in $*; do

the other plugin (controller) gives me

Do the same for both plugins.
