nagios to graph ethernet traffic.. can it ?

[Paul Weaver]

We use nagiosgrapher with the following config (The plugin output includes the phrase
"transfered nnn bits/s")

Which produces some graphs.

define ngraph{
	#Tweak service name to fit naming conventions in dev/live environment
	service_name		Cisco Traffic
	graph_log_regex		(\d+) bits/s in
	graph_value		InBitsS
	graph_units		Bits/s
	graph_legend	In Bits/s
	hide			yes
}

define ngraph{
	service_name		Cisco Traffic
	type			CDEF
	graph_units		Bits/s
	graph_value		NegInBitsS
	graph_legend	In Bits/s
	graph_calc		InBitsS,-1,*
	rrd_plottype	AREA
	rrd_color		00ffff
	page			Bits/s
	hide			no
}

define ngraph{
	service_name		Cisco Traffic
	service_name		Cisco Traffic
	graph_log_regex		(\d+) bits/s out
	graph_value		OutBitsS
	graph_units		Bits/s
	graph_legend	Out Bits/s
	rrd_plottype	AREA
	rrd_color		0000ff
	page			Bits/s

Hi Lance,

I could be wrong, but I think most use either nagiosgraph or pnp4nagios
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start for graphing w/rrdtool... (I'm
getting there someday, cacti works for now, let us know how it goes
though!)

Cheers!
jamie
