No traffic alert?!

[xpertech]

A database client transfer data to Server frequently, our customer would like to get alert if no data transfer to Server.

Is there any possible if NagiosXI alert when Server network interface "no traffic during a period of time"?

How are you checking this service? Assuming you already have it being checked under the host server. If you are checking this interface via SNMP you could enable freshness checking to make sure you have received data passively:

If the host is a windows-based server, does passive check still work well? is there an example to setup passive check?

You could use pure snmp, but as Sam pointed out, that will most likely take setting up a passive check with traps. You could also look at some of the plugins on the exchange like: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... er/details
It uses snmp, but works as an active check so no snmp trap setup is required.
