Monitoring Network Switch Errors and Discards

I'm looking to setup some monitoring of error/discards on some critical interfaces between switches. In the past I have used the "Network Switch/Router" config wizard to get status and bandwidth. I'm wondering if there is an equivalent way to setup monitoring errors/discards for the same interfaces?
I'm sure there are several ways to achieve this but wanted to throw it out there since I haven't found much regarding how to do this with NagiosXI.
Thanks,
Geoff

Thanks for the link! Do you know of an English translation? The option at the top of the page still displays it in German. There is always Google Translate, but it's not always so accurate :)

The plugin installed in english
https://github.com/lausser/check_nwc_health
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... th/details
For install in my case is:
Code: Select all
cd /tmp
wget https://labs.consol.de/assets/downloads/nagios/check_nwc_health-5.7.1.tar.gz
tar xzf check_nwc_health-5.7.1.tar.gz
cd check_nwc_health-5.7.1
./configure
make
make install
cpan install Module:Load

Hi netonoshana,
That tool looks like it would work. Not sure if you are related to the developer or not, but other then the help there isn't much in English, which would be useful. Especially their howto deck they have.
Regardless, I think this is worth looking at.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks @nietonoshana!
@geoffmyers - the english page he linked to looks to provide quite a bit of information, including use cases.
https://github.com/lausser/check_nwc_health - did you see that?

Umm.. No. For whatever reason I clicked on the second link and bypassed the first. Thanks for keeping me in check. Agree there is lots of helpful info there.
