Is it somehow possible to setup a bandwidth service (for a particular port) that is assigned to a host group (that host group contains all the hosts you want to perform the bandwidth monitoring on for that specific port) instead of being assigned directly to a host?
I ask this because of the following scenario:
- We have multiple sites that all have the same SonicWALL firewalls
Each SonicWALL always has Port 1 as the WAN port and Port 3 as the LAN port
Each time we connect a new site we run the switch monitoring wizard, we are doing the same thing over and over again
- Adding the host first
Add the host to the common host group
Having a service for port 1 and a service for port 3
Assign these services to the common host group
Each time I add a new host I just add it to the common host group and it will do the required bandwidth monitoring
Basically the Status Information I get when I try this is "var/lib/mrtg/10.152.89.114_1.rrd does not exist."
I assume that the switch wizard does some stuff in the backend to setup some stuff.
Is there any way I can achieve what I am talking about here (using host groups), or do I need to run the switch wizard each time?
