Interface Utilization Calculation

Post by sneha.irali »

Hi Team,

Can anyone help me understand how the interface calculation happens on Nagios XI. Since I have few devices on which the interfce/port utilization is just zero.

I would have to validate the same.

Nagios XI version - 5.8.3
Device type - Aruba Switch
Polling interval - 5mins

Please see here for troubleshooting:

And here for the architecture of it:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... re-62.html

Please run these commands as root and PM me the resulting /tmp/mrtg.txt file:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/cron.d/mrtg > /tmp/mrtg.txt
ls -ld /var/lib/mrtg >> /tmp/mrtg.txt
ls -l /var/lib/mrtg >> /tmp/mrtg.txt
LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -debug=cfg,base,log &>> /tmp/mrtg.txt
LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg &>> /tmp/mrtg.txt
LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.lock --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok --user=nagios --group=nagios &>> /tmp/mrtg.txt
{ time LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg 2>1 ; } 2>> /tmp/mrtg.txt
PM me this file as well for one that is showing 0 but shouldn't be:

Code: Select all

/var/lib/mrtg/X.X.X.X_XXX.rrd
