How to create iperf command from 2 plugins I found

Hello XI support

Please advise how to make a command & service out of these plugins?
- can't get them to work even after installing iperf and iperf3

Can you show the command that you've built so far?

Also this will require that iperf is also running on the remote side. So make sure that iperf is setup and listening for connections on the remote server.

We have iperf running on the remove side, just trying to figure how to build a command in Nagios

A basic example of the command, using iperf3, would look something like this.

$USER1$/check_iperf3.pl $ARG1$

And then for $ARG1$ in your service definition, you might provide "10 15" as shown in the check_iperf3.pl --help example. It looks like by default this check runs 30 tests, so it'll take about 30 seconds to run.
