nagios to monitor application bandwidth

[Marco Tirado]

There are different ways for achieving this, I looked at 3 tools before
setting up our system:


   1. MRTG : Easy to configure, plugin for generating alarms available in
   the nagios default plugins, bad visualization (static html pages)
   2. Cacti: Good visualization, difficult integration to nagios, graphic
   configuration difficult to automate.
   3. check_snmp_int + pnp4nagios: Excellent visualization (zoom, pdf
   generation and calendar in pnp4nagios). Stable plugin with support for
   regular expressions for selecting interfaces.

All the options will give you a good overview of the bandwidth usage. I use
the 3rd one since the integration to nagios is simple and the visualization
is very good. Both pnp4nagios and check_snmp_int are available in the nagios
exchange site.

Cheers

//Marco
