Network Traffic plugin questions

[Mark Douglas]

Hi,

I just got the network traffic plugin/addon from the nagios extras page
installed and working, and so far I like what I see. However, I have a concern -
I'm looking to track my total bandwidth usage from month to month, and from what
I can tell, this plugin is just doing basic reads of the interface counters
through SNMP. So, I expect that when I reboot my system, those counters are
going to get reset, and my total bandwidth usage will get reset as well. Can
anyone confirm/deny this for me? If it does get reset, can someone recommend a
method for me to track total bandwidth usage across reboots?

Secondly, a simpler question - this plugin generates .cgi's for viewing the RRD
tool graphs. What's the best way to incorporate this cgi into the nagios
framework? Is there a page that I should create links to these cgi's from? Or am
I missing something completely and are the links already in there somewhere?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
