Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I'm slowly building some nagvis maps and have come across an issue with the links.

I am monitoring some switches via snmp and when I put those onto the nagvis map I get a data transfer rate, not a percentage of bandwidth use. Attached is the image I'm referring to.

I have nagios monitoring that switch as well as the bandwidth on the port in question. This is what's returned by nagios. The command used to monitor that port is I'm assuming I somehow have to get nagios to also return a percentage bandwidth? How do I go about that?

Regards,
Chris.

ps. the references above are to the left hand of the two links displayed.

You would need a plugin that returns percentage. Something like https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... 64/details appears to do the trick. Integrating a plugin with XI is covered in https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf.

Thanks for the info. I will have a look into that.

Cheers,
Chris.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the info. I will have a look into that.

Sounds good. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Look in Nagios Exchange for iftraffic64 - It states that it is NagVis friendly. I use it for my SNMP tests and it does the job.
