Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Will there be a plugin that compares the traffic history (rrd) for a last week and compares it with the current week?

For example, if last Monday the router have a usage of 20GB and the Monday of the current week it has a usage of 10GB, let the plugin warn about the increase or decrease in bandwidth.

And maybe create a graph with the values (last week with this week) ....



Regards,

HI,

Right out of the box I can't think of a plugin that would do exactly that as it would need to maintain a log of state history to check against. This would take some custom scripting to achieve ( using the API to fetch state information).

If you're interested in bandwidth monitoring, Nagios Network Analyzer is designed just for that and has some nice integration features with XI. For example, you could set up an alert for abnormal behavior for this router in Network Analyzer but use XI for the notifications.

Let me know if you have more questions.
