Hi Guys,<br><br>I need some help on how to use the <span style="font-weight: bold;">check_iftraffic.pl</span> plug in. I want nagios to notify me if any of my servers reach a 150kbits/sec on their NIC. This is what I have done so far.
<br><br>1. I downloaded the plug in and gave it the appropriate ownership and permissions.<br>2. I added the plugin to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">command.cfg</span> file and this is what I added to the file<br><br>
# 'check_iftraffic' command definition<br><span style="font-weight: bold;">define command{</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> command_name check_iftraffic</span><br style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> command_line $USER1$/check_iftraffic.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $USER3$ -i $ARG1$ -b $ARG2$ -u m</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> }</span>
<br><br>3. I added the following service to one of my linux servers that has a NIC named eth0, this is what I added<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">define service{</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
use dns1-service</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> host_name DNS2</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
service_description Traffic Load eth0</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> check_command check_iftraffic!community!eth0!100</span><br style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> }</span><br><br>After these, nagios report an unknown error for this service on the web cgi interface, nagios says:<br><br><table class="status" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr>
