check_mrtg

[Israel Brewster]

To the best of my knowledge, all such plugins are designed to alert  
only when traffic exceeds a certain threshold, not when it drops  
below. I THINK MRTG itself has some built-in notification options  
that may be settable for when traffic drops below a threshold, and I  
wouldn't think it would be a terribly complicated matter to modify an  
existing plugin to alert for a floor threshold (assuming you know  
some basic programing at least), but I don't believe there are any  
existing plugins that have that functionality.
