Antwort: Bandwidth Usage on a linux Box

[Jatin Davey]

Hi

I downloaded the plugin onto my nagios server , I executed a sample 
command but i have some questions on it:

The output goes like this:

[root at pc-fedora-1 libexec]# ./check_snmp_int.pl  -H x.x.x.x -C xxx  -n 
eth0 -r -fY -k -w 100,100 -c 200,200 -d 40
eth0:UP (12.2KBps/20.6KBps):1 UP: OK | 
'eth0_in_Bps'=12506;102400;204800;0;1250000 
'eth0_out_Bps'=21068;102400;204800;0;1250000

As you can see the output has the following: 
eth0_in_Bps=12506;102400;204800;0;1250000

Could you explain what they indicate , i know of only "in Bytes per 
second" , what are the other 4 values ?
Is it something like "in Discards" , "in Errors"  Etc.

Can someone throw more light on this.

Thanks
Jatin
