nagvis. how to show % bandwidth

[lilydalehs]

Hi All,

I'm slowly building some nagvis maps and have come across an issue with the links.

I am monitoring some switches via snmp and when I put those onto the nagvis map I get a data transfer rate, not a percentage of bandwidth use. Attached is the image I'm referring to.

I have nagios monitoring that switch as well as the bandwidth on the port in question. This is what's returned by nagios.

Code: Select all

OK - Current BW in: .17Mbps Out: .43Mbps

The command used to monitor that port is

Code: Select all

check_xi_service_mrtgtraf!7995csw-srv01.curric.lilydale-hs.wan_19.rrd!500.0,500.0!800.0,800.0!M

I'm assuming I somehow have to get nagios to also return a percentage bandwidth? How do I go about that?

Regards,
Chris.

ps. the references above are to the left hand of the two links displayed.

You would need a plugin that returns percentage. Something like https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... 64/details appears to do the trick. Integrating a plugin with XI is covered in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf.

Sounds good. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Look in Nagios Exchange for iftraffic64 - It states that it is NagVis friendly. I use it for my SNMP tests and it does the job.
