Thanks Patrick, I have been able to get the check_iftraffic.pl to give me some values, but I think these values are not correct and/or - I am missing something important. Thanks for your help.

However, upon your execution, the first line of output is : "Use of uninitialized value in scalar chomp at ./check_iftraffic.pl line 185, <FILE> line 1." So I think there is a problem with the plugin or the perl interpreter. Do you use the embedded perl interpreter ? I use the same plugin from NagiosExchange but don't experience any problems with it. I always disable the embedded perl interpreter in Nagios. Good luck, Frederik -- Alex Dehaini Developer Site - <a href="http://www.alexdehaini.com">www.alexdehaini.com</a> Email - <a href="mailto:alexdehaini@gmail.com">alexdehaini@gmail.com</a> </blockquote></div> -- Alex Dehaini Developer Site - <a href="http://www.alexdehaini.com">www.alexdehaini.com</a> Email - <a href="mailto:alexdehaini@gmail.com">alexdehaini@gmail.com</a>
