Need to Monitor VLAN(Data transfer/flow, speed, performance)

[lanxessinfy]

Hi,

We have a requirement to monitor VLAN(‘Data transfer/flow, speed, performance’)
Earlier it was monitored in PRTG tool. Now They want us to monitor in Nagiosxi.

Is there any possibilities to monitor it.

Thanks in advance!..

You should be able to monitor the VLAN bandwidth/status via Configure > Configuration Wizards > Network Switch/Router.

Hi,
We have configured one device using "Network Switch / Router" wizard.
we have monitoring all the available services it has scanned.

Issue:
Port status of some ports are critical but the bandwidth is ok for that ports.
Why is that? Could you please give us some information on that?

What is the full output from the services that are failing? If you click on the service to see the details does it show more?

Maybe it's interfaces are down/not used?

Hi,

Attached the Screenshot of Service output.

If the port is critical then the Bandwidth should be also effect right?

Could you please give us clarification on this:
Ports status: What exactly does it monitor?
Bandwidth: what exactly does it monitor?

Hi

The status of the port uses the check_ifoperstatus plugin

The status of the port will give one of theses statuses when it is dormant:
-w (--warn =i|w|c) ignore|warn|crit if the interface is dormant (default critical)
-D (--admin-down =i|w|c) same for administratively down interfaces (default warning)

So in your case the the port isn't being used, so the status is reporting as critical (the default)
while the bandwidth is reporting as OK because the bandwidth = 0 and that is less than the warning
and critical values for the bandwidth of that port.


Thanks
