Can Nagios do this ?

Post by soamz »

Hi, currently Im using Nagios for only ping, means I have added of my 218+ public and private devices, routers, switches in the network and only ping service is being used.
So, if a ping cuts, I know the device is offline and I get the email.
Then we check immediately.

But now I want to get more out of this and I heard, its possible with Nagios.

Can I have usage and traffic graphs stats details for each host each port too ?

Which plugin to install into nagios for that and is the polling less than 1 min possible ?

I use Cacti now and its takes long poll, so it misses a lot of traffic graph.

Let me know, what to do for getting graphs and usage for each host device.

Nagios can do all of that....

For graphing, trying using PNP for Nagios or nagiosgraph:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... os/details
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... ph/details

I assume you want to monitor bandwidth usage, and the plugins can vary according to type/manufacturer/OS of the device, so as a general starting point I suggest you search our exchange site for a specific router or switch model and go from there.
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... -Bandwidth

If you have any other questions, it will be more efficient if we focus on a particular device first and go from there, thanks.
