I'm ended up setting up mrtg last night so I can use the check_mrtgtraf. It always seems to show critical for some reason, even when I don't give a critical or warning number. <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 10:20 AM, Israel Brewster <<a href="mailto:israel@frontierflying.com">israel@frontierflying.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Jan 8, 2009, at 4:40 AM, Marc Powell wrote: > > On Jan 7, 2009, at 9:28 PM, Chris St. Pierre wrote: > >> You'd have to track the rate of change in ifInOctets >> if you wanted to get bits per second, and that'd be a much more >> complicated plugin. > > For the OP, plugins that do this are available on <a href="http://nagiosexchange.org/" target="_blank">nagiosexchange.org</a>. </div>Or use MRTG. While this would be another piece of software to set up, this is exactly what it is designed for. You can either set it up to alert itself, or (as I am doing) use one of the nagios plugins that checks the mrtg log files. The benifit of doing things this way is that you get the nice pretty MRTG graphs (not that you couldn't jigger nagios to produce them as well, but I don't know how hard that would be), while keeping a single point of monitoring/alerting. ----------------------------------------------- Israel Brewster Computer Support Technician Frontier Flying Service Inc. 5245 Airport Industrial Rd Fairbanks, AK 99709 (907) 450-7250 x293 ----------------------------------------------- <div> <div></div> <div class="Wj3C7c"> > > > -- > Marc > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace. > It is the best place to buy or sell services for > just about anything Open Source. > <a href="http://p.sf.net/sfu/Xq1LFB" target="_blank">http://p.sf.net/sfu/Xq1LFB</a> > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> > <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> > ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when > reporting any issue. > ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
