Description:

Update to the check_iftraffic3 plug-in first released by Gerd Mueller (Netways GmbH) and updated by Markus Werner, ‘sos’ and Greg Frater.

Works with 64-bit SNMP counters to avoid frequent overflows on highly loaded and large interfaces (>1gbps).

Several corrections and tweaks to make the code more consistent.

In general one shall take into account that this plugin is far from perfect.

Tested on Cisco devices only.

Project Notes
Version 4.0.1 carries some little corrections to the output format. Version 4.1 - Several changes, most of them to fit better an ISP environment: - bits per second are the default now. Use -B for bytes. - RX, TX and absolute values show bytes/octets only. - We now use Perl's given-where "switch" in some places. Look for the correct "use" for your version of perl.

little bit buggy?
by wiede, August 31, 2012
Sorry, but for me it doesn't work :(

Here is the data which I got with check_iftraffic41, which looks really strange (e.g. IN with 11536.25%):
Average IN: 1.15KBs (11536.25%), Average OUT: 431.12Bs (4311.25%) Total RX: 2.15GBytes, Total TX: 2.07GBytes|inUsage=11536.25%;98;99 outUsage=4311.25%;98;99 inBandwidth=1153.62Bs outBandwidth=431.12Bs inAbsolut=2305851750 outAbsolut=2223394934

And here are the data which I got with check_iftraffic3, which looks better:
Average IN: 0Kbs (0.00%), Average OUT: 0Kbs (0.00%)Total RX: 144115734.38 Mbits, Total TX: 138962183.38 Mbits|inUsage=0.00%;85;98 outUsage=0.00%;85;98 inBandwidth=0Kbs outBandwidth=0Kbs inAbsolut=18889537536000 outAbsolut=18214051299328

How do i shorten the Average IN and Average OUT
by _bk201, May 31, 2012
Pretty good plugin, i had to delete the line :
#$output .= "Total RX: ".$rx.$label.", Total TX: ".$tx.$label;

Because i use this with nagiosgraph, i couldnt see any of the Average's only the Totals which were >50gb

Question: how do you lower the average time for Average IN and Average OUT? i would like to know if our bandwidth every maxes out over, say 5 minutes.

added a minnium

Added a minnium value, because this can also happen with data that is in a tunnel and only one way traffic works

nice work
by alfred, August 31, 2011
hoi,
the plugin works good for me on HP and cisco switches. i made a small fix for links that are unused (traffic lower than 1kbit/s) to avoid an uninitialized $prefix_x error.

after line 349:

Is that a bug?
by valleed, March 31, 2011
Hi there,

Very good job on the script btw but I think I found a bug, at least for me.

Line 535, I had to replace %.01d with %s because it was returning -1.

printf FILE ("%s:%s:%s
", $update_time, $in_bits, $out_bits );

Thank you for sharing this checker.
