Project Notes
check_ifconfig is a Nagios plugin for monitoring network interfaces on Linux platforms. It uses the output of ifconfig and reports the status of the network interface as well as the following performance data: * RX/TX bytes * RX/TX packets * RX/TX errors It was tested with Nagios Core 3.x and 4.x but it should work with any version of Nagios. Usage: check_ifconfig [-v] [-h] [-i dev] Options: --version|-v prints the program version --help|-h prints this help information --interface|-i specifies the network interface to check Example: # ./check_ifconfig -i eth0 eth0 RUNNING | RX_Bytes=736019798B;;;; TX Bytes=760915818B;;;; RX_packets=3233473;;;; RX_errors=0;;;; TX_packets=2726202;;;; TX_errors=0;;;; ============= Oct. 31, 2014 What's new in version 0.93 - the path for binary executables is no more hard coded, which makes the script capable to run on virtually any Linux or UNIX system, without the need to edit it. - the path for binary executables (grep, sed, ifconfig) can be overwritten in the parameters section, at the beginning of the script - introduced a new function for bringing the size strings to humanly readable format (ex.: 1024 bytes=>1KB)
