Checks and graphs for errors on interface

Hello,

I am currently trying to find some way, how to setup nagios to monitor errors on interface and how to sum these values into the graph. I also use Cacti but I would like to transfer all my graphs to Nagios and remove Cacti.

Is there any way how can I setup graphs like at screenshots at Nagios XI? If so, could you please advice me?

Thanks a lot,
Martin

In Nagios XI you can create your own graphs in Graph Explorer for anything you are collecting data for
Home -> Graphs -> Graph Explorer -> Multistacked Performance Graph Tab

And you can add any element from any check to one graph, then click the dashify icon to save it to a dashboard.

Thank you for your reply.

I am able to create new graph and I know the mechanism underneath. But I am not able to find out how to get "errors" out of the network device like switch or router. I am able to get only bandwidth and status.

Could you please describe me, how to set up interface errors check to be able to see this check at multistacked graph configuration?

Thanks

You would need to monitor these items. Probably the easiest way would be to run the SNMPWalk Wizard against the switch and choose all the interface errors items and start monitoring them.
