NIC Traffic monitor

[HAL]

We want to monitor network interface card traffic status for 2 of windows servers using nagiosxi application. Please guide me for the same. I downloaded and uploaded a plugin of similar capacity named check_snmp_netint.pl. Please let me know how to proceed towards needful either using check_snmp_netint.pl or any others.

Thanks

Please treat this requirement as very urgent.

If I can user the said downloaded/uploaded plugin to monitor NIC Traffic of Windows Server,then like to state that after uploading the said plugin I am not able to find corresponding wizard for the same. So I had to configure the needful using command line arguments. Please suggest.

HAL,

Where did you d/l the plugin from? Also, installing a plugin does not create a wizard. Someone would have to write a wizard to use that plugin and then distribute it. That is not the case for 99% of custom plugins out there.

Hi,
I downloaded the plugin check_snmp_netint.pl from the link below mentioned.
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... nt/details

The one you linked is for Linux Servers and networking equipment. For ease of use on Windows servers, I'd use http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ge/details. I have not used this personally, but he seems to have decent instructions on his page.

Thank you for the link bandit, HAL have you configured NSClient++ on the windows system already? You will need to use its check_nt portion for this check as the plugin page suggests.

[HAL]

Yes we have already configured NSClient++ on the desired window servers and they are already getting monitored through nagiosxi. Could you please guide me how do I proceed to include monitoring of NIC.

I believe I need to use the link/plugin suggested by Bandit in this post. Is there a corresponding wizard also availiable or I need to configure it through arguments, please suggest.

[BanditBBS]

Yea, if you already use NSClient++, then I would use the one I linked.

You would need to d/l and install that plugin.
Goto Core Config Manager and create a command that uses the plugin(As described on the plugin's website)
In core config manager, create a service check that uses the command you created and assign this service check to the 2 servers you want to monitor. If the 2 servers have different names for the network cards, then you would need to create 2 different service checks, one for each server.

*to get network card name, the instructions are on the plugin website.

Please let us know what the outcome is if you get a chance HAL, thanks!

Hi,
I uploaded plugin check_win_net_usage.sh as suggested, but the problem is when I was trying to create service I was not able to see the plugin check_win_net_usage.sh under list its showing only plugin with .pl extensions. Please let me know about this.

Not able to see check_win_net_usage.sh Under check_Command as mentioned in my earlier post too.

Not able to see check_win_net_usage.sh Under check_Command as mentioned in my earlier post too.

You need to go into the config manager and go to "Commands" and create a new command that uses that plugin.
