Hi,
I'm using check_mrtg to get bandwidth/graphs from Cisco switch...
Result are shown in bytes (MB/s) and I would like them in bits? Is it possible?
conf:
Code: Select all
define command{
command_name check_local_mrtg
command_line $USER1$/check_mrtg -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -e $ARG5$
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_name SW-10
service_description Port 25 Bandwidth Usage
check_command check_local_mrtgtraf!/var/www/mrtg/172.17.0.10_10125.log!AVG!1000000,2000000!5000000,5000000!10
}
regards.

This is checking the file /var/www/mrtg/172.17.0.10_10125.log which is generated by MRTG.
Can you please post the MRTG config file for 172.17.0.10, it could be under /etc/mrtg perhaps

ok, i checked mrtg.cfg and there was everything in bytes. so i re run cfgmaker with bits
Code: Select all
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/www/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]: bits' --output /etc/mrtg/mrtg3.cfg [email protected]:::::2
indexmaker --output=/var/www/mrtg/index.html /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
and then checked again with nagios and it is shown with as bytes

You're on the right path, thats what needed to be updated first.
Your service is using the command definition check_local_mrtgtraf, can you post the command definition here please.

copied first one by mistake... :
Code: Select all
define command{
command_name check_local_mrtgtraf
command_line $USER1$/check_mrtgtraf -F $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ -w $ARG3$ -c $ARG4$ -e $ARG5$
}
./check_mrtgtraf --version
check_mrtgtraf v2.0.3 (nagios-plugins 2.0.3)

I believe this may be a limitation of check_mrtgtraf. From it's usage:
[snip]
If either the incoming or outgoing rates exceed the <icl> or <ocl> thresholds (in
Bytes/sec), a CRITICAL status results. If either of the rates exceed
the <iwl> or <owl> thresholds (in Bytes/sec), a WARNING status results.

Yeah... Will have to chose different plugin to get what I need.
Thanks
