Hi Team,

we are using third party network plugin to monitor device bandwidth utilization.
Plugin taken from https://labs.consol.de/nagios/check_nwc_health/

This plugin meets our requirement by giving interface max speed,hardware health,CPU,Memory status of network devices.

The only problem we are facing with this plugin is its showing different bandwidth utilization values when compare with live bandwidth utilization of network device and also the graph showing with -ve value.

Please check and help us to understand is this plugin working fine and we need to go dive deeper to understand the plugin or we need different plugin to monitor network bandwidth.

Please find attachment image(upper service monitor with check_nwc_health and below with check_mrtg plugin for same device and same interface)both having same check time.

Code: Select all

# ./check_nwc_health --hostname IPADDRESS --community string@123 --mode interface-usage --name  interfaceName

OK - interface  2 (alias SPECTRANET) usage is in:9.46% (9460015.16bit/s) out:1.90% (1895387.07bit/s) | ' 2_usage_in'=9.46%;80;90;0;100 ' 2_usage_out'=1.90%;80;90;0;100 ' 2_traffic_in'=9460015.16;80000000;90000000;0;100000000 ' 2_traffic_out'=1895387.07;80000000;90000000;0;100000000

What is the output of this command? (with the -v added)

Code: Select all

./check_nwc_health --hostname IPADDRESS --community string@123 --mode interface-usage --name  interfaceName -v
Please post your exact check_mrtg command as well so that we can see what options are specified.

Thank you
