Interface Utilizaiton with graphs

Post by aceadm »

Hello,

Is there any plugin available for bandwidth utilization of interfaces that also provide performance data for graphs? Haven't found one that's working as expected so far. I've tried check_iftraffic3.pl, but it doesn't provide graphs.

Thank you.

Did you try The Switch/Router Wizard that comes standard with XI?

Yeah, it does not provide percentage as we need for showing the utilization. I need the percentage used after setting the interface limit.

I see the plugin you tried has a new version
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... 64/details

What is the output you are getting when running check_iftraffic3.pl from the CLI, it should be returning performance data based on a quick view of the script. (note this is not our plugin but I will attempt to assist)

Thank you for your help,

Below is the output. Indeed, I see more info here than what I see in the UI, but I don't know why I can't see graphs or how to provide those numbers to perf data. I will try the new version tomorrow.

[root@asdf libexec]# ./check_iftraffic3.pl -H x.x.x.x -C comstring -i 8 -b 100 -u m

Code: Select all

inUsage=1.25%;85;98 outUsage=1.72%;85;98 inBandwidth=160.02KBs outBandwidth=219.99KBs inAbsolut=498366874 outAbsolut=110655193
This indicates valid performance data.

Do you see this also on the Advanced tab in the performance data section for this service?

Checking the advanced data section I noticed that the performance data for this specific service was turned off for some reason. Stupid reason but this was actually the issue. Fixed after I turned them on. Thanks a lot for all help.
