Currently it looks like the only plugins that have been created by users are those for Cisco devices. If you are interested, you may want to check out the net flow analyzer beta:

You can search the Nagios Exchange for a suitable plugin or you can check the Nagios NA:

It's still beta, but pretty soon we *should* have an official release (before the end of the year).

You can use NNA presently, however it needs to be stressed that this is beta, and may have issues. Here is the download link for more documentation and the application.

If you have the trial for Nagios XI 2012 enterprise edition navigate to reports > bandwidth usage. This will give you the bandwidth information you require, then you could also send a report for the availability of these items separately, currently there is no combined report such as the one you showed.

Hello,

I would require the different reports for bandwidth and applications reports. as its just a one report which i have combined it.

I agree with the bandwidth utilization report we will get the graphs.

but for the application report. As per client the nagios should show the report in which shows the applications which take resources and decrease the CPU speed.
it should be the resource utilization from every application that monitoring server is using for eg windows server or linux server


thanks,

Feel free to add this as a feature request this is not currently supported. We have briefly talked about creating a "Report Builder" which would allow an admin to create their own reports based off of the existing ones. Please add the feature request here:

I am slightly confused on how we went from netflow checks, to bandwidth reports, to checking windows or linux processes. These are entirely different things, could you please clarify exactly what you are attempting to achieve?
