I?ve resolved my problem but I?d really like to have a faster response time if something like this happens again. I would really love to find a way to know if the bandwidth usage on my server reaches 0Kbps. The machines I?m monitoring are used heavily enough that this shouldn?t ever happen. I took a look at check_snmp_int.pl but it appears to be set up specifically to monitor high bandwidth usage rather than low.

How about using the negate plugin with check_snmp_int.pl to invert the
results?
