Vedr.: Re: Snmpstatus/aggregate bandwidth

[Thomas Jens Lauritsen]

Hi John,

Write a SNMP-plugin to get your data.

I had thought of something like your idea too, but haven had the time yet.
But I would ask for things like network errors, no port, and so on....
I don't know how usefull it is but, sometimes you have to "kick the ball" 
before it hits the goal.

But check out some shell-script / plugins and if you know something about 
SNMP then you should be able to start collecting data.

Try this command in a shell >   "snmpwalk -v 1 W2K-netvorkhost -c public 
.1.3.6"

W2K-Networkhost = some ip address

I could send you a sample-plugin on how I collect CPU data   - set 
thresholds and so on.

Thomas

we use cacti for that, but you don't get alerts that way...
