Strange
by Engr.Adeel, October 31, 2016

I have configrd check_ifutil on debian jessie 8.5...it gives output of ethernet on locally but in nagios...update the old value very very slow...like...if eth tx:450KBps..and server traffic increases to 50MBps/sec...then this plugin return...only 5MBps...until i have to manually run the script on server then nagios update its value to 50MBps....plz solve this


Use of uninitialized value in stri
by gerardjp, November 30, 2014

Seems like a cool plugin but I cant get rid of the 'unuinitialized' error: perl ./setup/temp/check_ifutil.pl -i eth0 -w 10 -c 20 -b 10Mbps Use of uninitialized value in string ne at ./setup/temp/check_ifutil.pl line 154. Use of uninitialized value in string ne at ./setup/temp/check_ifutil.pl line 154. Use of uninitialized value in string ne at ./setup/temp/check_ifutil.pl line 154.

Nagios graph integration
by Laurentiu, October 31, 2013

I would like to integrate this script with nagiosgraph too. Can someone give some step by step informations. I`m new with Nagios and Nagiosgraph. I managed to install and configure Nagios and Nagiosgraph but now I don`t know how to integrate this script. I need this script to monitor localhost ethernet interface. Thanks in advance! Great job!


fyi - linux only
by jsellens, April 30, 2013

Handy script, but should mention that it runs on linux only - it reads /proc/net/dev, so unfortunately it won't help you monitor a switch or other network device.


works straightaway in NagiosXI
by SJTesla, September 30, 2012

Nice little plugin. Since XI has its own grapher, I only had to integrate this plugin into nagiosxi and it just worked. Thanks!


Excelent work!
by victor.laza, July 31, 2012

Hi, I have searched a lot for a working plugin like this to integrate with nagios 3.4 and nagiosgraph. From many tested this is the only one working for me that is also generating perfdata. I have chosed to change my " $bitmod = BYTES; " to " my $bitmod = BITS; " and here is an example of usage in my case: " /usr/bin/perl /root/check_if.pl -i eth1 -w 700m -c 900m -b 1000m " (this is for a gigabit interface) Nice work for the author!


very nice
by xoroz, July 31, 2011

Thanks for that great script. The output is something like RX Bytes: 661GB, TX Bytes: 150GB; RX Speed: 62KBps, TX Speed: 25KBps; OK bandwidth utilization | rx=63021;1152921504606846976;3458764513820540928 tx=25090;1152921504606846976;3458764513820540928 And I could graph it too!
