Nagios Support Forum

I try to use this script. It runs fine but i got an error that the interface is down (but it isnt)

any ideas??

Can you show us the full service definition and command definition for the related service? This should help identify what's going on.

[root@nagios-core-network libexec]# ./check_iftraffic.php
USAGE:
check_iftraffic.php -H <IP or Hostname> -C <Community> -i <IF name>
-I <InBandwidth> -O <OutBandwidth> -w <Warning>
-c <Critical> -u <Units to Convert to>
--totals <units>
--from-units <Units received from SNMP>
--counters <32/64>

[root@nagios-core-network libexec]# ./check_iftraffic.php -H 10.0.3.1 -C 0@5@_P@bl1c -i port3

It looks like the plugin in not getting ant response from the device at all and it could be caused by the special characters in the command. Try adding single quotes around them and see if that works.

Same results:

[root@nagios-core-network libexec]# ./check_iftraffic.php -H 10.0.3.1 -C '0@5@_P@bl1c' -i port3
Timeout: No Response from 10.0.3.1

Please close that post.
