Plugin to monitor bandwidth usage

[Randal, Phil]

I enable SNMP on our servers and use check_iftraffic3l to monitor them.

One of the later check_ iftraffic variations might work for you too.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Plugin to monitor bandwidth usage

Hi,

I've got some strange issues with a web application, where it loses connectivity at a certain time each night. After a bit of investigation, I think that this might be related to network congestion. i.e. the backups are taking up all of the available bandwidth and as a result the web app connections time out.

I'd like to use a plugin to monitor the amount of bandwidth which is being used by the server as a whole to see if it is ever saturated. e.g. if bandwidth remains at 90% of 1Gb/s send a warning

Does anyone know of a plugin which would allow me to monitor this?

Thank you
Serge
