check_bandwidth

It is a great script, and a take the liberty to adapt it to snmpv3 and create a fork to discover the oid of an interface. great job

the pluggin is excellent but I have a little problem for define the pluggin in commnads.cfg

Its not working with SNMP v2c and Nagios 4.4.6
It always says something is missing but don't know what is missing even i am adding all the parameters for cisco 3800.
is there any super geek who can help me ?

To get perfomance graph working, replace
echo "OK $mode bandwidth usage is $final Mb/s, $perc% used"
by
echo "OK $mode bandwidth usage is $final Mb/s, $perc% used | ${interface}_${mode}=$final"

and all the same lines with "echo".

Hello gurus,
please help a newbie with steps, here is what i did
*command.cfg*
define command{
command_name check_bw.sh
command_line $USER1$/check_bw.sh
}
*also here switches.cfg*
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Inherit values from a template
host_name SWC-AGG-01
service_description Bandwidth [RDD Backbone]
check_command check_bw.sh! -H 10.3.0.206 -b 100 -v 1 -C afm -m output -i gi10 -p 15
}
*see my result*
(No output returned from plugin)

*but it works when i run it in the terminal*
nagios/libexec# ./check_bw.sh -H 10.3.0.206 -b 100 -v 1 -C afm -m output -i gi9 -p 15
Current output bandwidth usage is 0 Mb/s, 0% used

what could be wrong?

There seems to be a missing piece on this script. I can't get any Performance Data output.
If you can please let me know how to get to work, that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Very nice plugin, so easy to used.

I use it for my switch, juste need to specify the port number and OK !

Just 1 thing missed for me, possibility to monitore with same command multiple port (interface) for TRUNK. (And don't need to create a meta-service for that)

And graph for history, but not a big deal.

After a very long search to have a plugin which shows Total Bandwidth on Linux/AIX/Unix Interfaces, I must say that this simple and effective plugins worked well.

Below is my command output:

./check_bw.sh -H 192.16.1.1 -b 100 -v 1 -C public -m input -i eth0 -p 15
Current input bandwidth usage is 80.011 Mb/s, 80.00% used

./check_bw.sh -H 192.168.1.1 -b 100 -v 1 -C public -m output -i eth0 -p 15
Current output bandwidth usage is 2.102 Mb/s, 2.00% used

Here, it is mandatory to mention 2 commands, input and output from the respective server.

The parameter understanding is,
-b=100 Mbps
-p = Every 15 seconds. (You can change this to 10 Mbps or 1000 Mbps as per the server configuration)

The confusing part is, what to give for "Windows Server Network Card", which is always "Local Area Connection" name...??? :(

Except Windows, this is a superb plugin.

Hats off the creator.
