Excellent, once you wrap your head around it everything starts to make sense. Don't worry I went through all the same frustrations you did when I learnt it :lol:

Thanks for all your help :D It does get quite frustrating at times. I will be sleeping better with this issue out of the way :)

EDIT:
I spoke too soon, there are still issues with this :) When bandwidth goes high, the units change to MB from KB but the graph is not displaying this properly, 11 MB barely shows, as if it's 11 KB. I have a feeling that's not gonna be easy to fix

Can you post a screenshot to give us an example of what you're seeing?

I took a screenshot last night. You can clearly see 11 MB but on the graph it's barely showing
MAX and AVG are wrong too now, as the link Max is 12.5 MB

I decided it was time to try another plugin as check_mrtgtraf doesn't seem to want to play nice

Trying to follow jrdalrymple advice and check_mrtg looks promising but it can only do one variable at a time so I created two checks, one for incoming one for outgoing. The units seem to be in bytes, hopefully they will not change

One problem I have so far is that the critical and warning tresholds don't appear to be detected properly, I get the Max.Value and crit and warn but not any actual warnings on the output. Can someone confirm this is normal?

Code: Select all

 ./check_mrtg -F /var/www/mrtg/192.168.199.1_5.log -a MAX -v 1 -w 22 -c 33
Max. value = 265384 |value=265384;22;33;
In Nagios the output looks like this

Tunnel0 Incoming
OK 11-18-2015 10:48:19 0d 0h 40m 41s 1/3 Max. Incoming = 265384

Tunnel0 Outgoing
OK 11-18-2015 10:43:32 0d 0h 45m 28s 1/3 Max. Outgoing = 218022


The old check_mrtgtraf for comparison purposes
Tunnel0
OK 11-18-2015 10:43:12 0d 0h 45m 48s 1/3 Traffic OK - Avg. In = 327.9 KB/s, Avg. Out = 212.9 KB/s

Can you post the template code here in a code block please.

It's working!!

I wish the documentation of check_mrtg plugin actually described that it never reports warning or critical on the terminal.

Code: Select all

Right now the link is heavily used but the plugin doesn't show critical
./check_mrtg -F /var/www/mrtg/192.168.199.1_5.log -a MAX -v 1 -w 11250000 -c 11875000 -l Incoming
Max. Incoming = 12120977 |Incoming=12120977;11250000;11875000;
However, both nagios and pnp4nagios are reporting and showing critical. Yay

For clarification, it looks like it should be reporting critical - this is what you want correct?

If not - can you post the two service definitions for Tunnel0 and Tunnel0 Incoming?

It appears to be working correctly, thanks. I wasn't aware that the check_mrtg plugin doesn't report anything to do with warning and critical when run in terminal, unlike check_mrtgtraf
Not sure if this is a bug or intentional but it does make it harder to test stuff
