Monitor network traffic

[Brian O'Mahony]

Thanks Patrick

What I am looking for is something like this, but I would prefer something more basic - I have only a handful of servers I want to monitor the network bandwith on, and to be honest MRTG looks like it has way more functionality than I need. I really just want something basic.

Regards

B

MRTG does a pretty good job of graphing network bandwidth usage.  You 
can then use one of the check_mrtg plugins if you want to alert through 
Nagios based on thresholds.
