hi all, thanks for the help. I have been trying several things that you told me. I'll give more information. I am monitoring bandwith with MRTG and storing datas in rrdtool format. If i run command from command line is ./check_rrdtraf -f ./var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd -l B -c 3000000,3000000 -w 5000000,5000000 ./var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd does not exist. I am graphing with routers2.cgi and it receives values, and if i do : rrdtool fetch /var/www/html/cfg/62.81.189.118_1.rrd AVERAGE . . . 1203025200: 1.3963531752e+05 8.2446477796e+04 1203025500: 1.3719540269e+05 1.0068914358e+05 1203025800: 1.3673972419e+05 1.0818787703e+05 1203026100: 1.3729848910e+05 1.1104579469e+05 1203026400: 1.3708077389e+05 1.1129381874e+05 1203026700: 1.3590177194e+05 1.1081213980e+05 1203027000: 3.1652589163e+05 2.5986265329e+05 1203027300: 3.8436060720e+05 3.1651678017e+05 1203027600: 1.4309192557e+05 1.1708320591e+05 1203027900: nan nan 1203028200: nan nan i see it is storing values... what is wrong? I had read check_rrdtraf help and i have included -l B option to indicate that data are bits...but it is still not working I obtain now: OK - Current BW in: bps Out: bps any more ideas? Thank you again for your patience!!!

I expect it starts with the word 'Using'. What is the -vv flag > causing to happen when the program is run (hint, run check_rrdtraf -- > help to find out)? The -vv is an issue, although there could be a couple of others (see previous comments about the formating of the file string in the command). As that flag gives a lot of debugging output, and nagios only displays the first line of output, I wouldn't expect it to show the traffic values with this switch in there. What I would expect nagios to be showing is something along the lines of "Using RRD File: / var/www/html/cfg/$HOSTADRESS$_1.rrd" (I think that's the first line of debugging output I put in there), with $HOSTADDRESS$ replaced with the applicable value. Try without the -vv and see what happens. ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- > > > -- > Marc > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
