Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We are planning to monitor Network devices (Switch,Router) using SNMP..

can you please help us how to monitor Packets Per Second ( PPS ) using SNMP.. and what wizard is use for SNMP devices like SNMPwalk or Network Switch/Router..

please let me know what MIB is used for Network Bandwidth Utilization(In/Out) and packets per second...


Thanks in advance

Well the switch and router wizard would be able to handle all of this most likely. In the even these devices are not storing speed data in the standard oid locations, we would just need to modify the mrtg config, but let's not get into that for now. Have you configured and opened snmp on the remote device?

HI Team,

I already configured some switches and monitoring their port status and bandwidth utiltization in Mbps... i am able to see Gbps,Mbps,Kbps and Bps if i click on drop down of bandwidth option,

But, i need some information of how to monitor Packets Per Second for all the ports...

Please let me know how to perform the above action..

Hi Team,

I have seen some MIB's like

ifInUcastPackets
ifOutCastPackets

but, it is showing output as a counter value and not as packets/Second.

So, please let me know how to monitor Packets per Second using SNMP for switches/routers. Provide us if any script is required.


Thanks

If you would like a script created, please talk with [email protected]. Otherwise, have you installed the mibs to your nagios system? This likely will have to be done via the snmp get wizard, or finding another plugin on exchange that reads those oid's.
