Nagios Support Forum

Dear All,

Is there anyone know how to monitor Windows/Linux OS network traffic?? I don't see any plugins in Nagios XI can do that.
Can somebody guide me how to achieve this?

Appreciate it.

Thanks.

I've monitored network traffic rates on both Windows / Linux before utilizing snmp.

Hi technick, can you share with me the plugins that you are using to monitored network traffics rates on both Windows / Linux server?
I'm using SNMP too.

You should actually be able to run the Network Switch/Router wizard against both these systems to pull information off their NIC's, just be sure the SNMP daemon is enabled, port 161 UDP is open, and that you have a valid community string set up on them.

Thanks it works...
But it will consume of extra one host, in order to monitor one hosts Network Traffic...
My license limited to 200 hosts only..

Our product licensing is based around the "one host many services" principle. If you have 10 Windows servers to monitor, you will need to have 10 hosts.
