Nagios Support Forum

hi

sorry for my question and my english

so
I'm need to check bandwidth for nic on remote server (centos)
and was founded this plugin https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... th/details
but this plugin dont create graph
in folder "/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/%MYHOST%" don't create rrd file at my service check



how to create rrd file and graph ?

Hello, @terminus. Can you upload the command definition? Also, can you show us the output when you run the plugin from the command line?
And, can you click on the service in Nagios XI, select the Performance graph tab and make sure that no performance graph is being generated by this plugin?
Do other plugins on your Nagios XI generate graphs and RRD files?

[root@monitor libexec]# ./check_bw.sh -H 192.251.195.110 -b 100 -v 2c -C %community% -m input -i eth0 -p 15 -w 75 -c 90
OK input bandwidth usage is 0.005 Mb/s, 0% used

define command {
command_name check_bw.sh
command_line $USER1$/check_bw.sh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}


yes, another service create graph and rrd files

@terminus, I just checked the source code for this plugin.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have a graphing capability. In this case, I'd recommend to look for a different plugin on the Exchange.

thanks for your answer

but
how you understand, what this plugin dont create grahp ?

thx

@terminus Yeah, if you look at the source code the final output that this plugin returns looks like this: If the graphing option was supported you'd see something like this: Take a look at this tutorial under Performance Data. http://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html

Basically, you just add a | sign after the output message and specify 'value_name' = value. You can actually try to implement that yourself if you'd like.

thanks
its work

you are fantastic

@terminus, Nice! I'll close this thread as resolved then.
