Unfortunately collision counters are not a part of the IF-MIB that 99% of the SNMP agents support out of the box; switches all support collision counts through vendor-specific MIBs or the ETHERLIKE MIB .. I have yet to find a host-based agent that implements the ETHERLIKE MIB, would love to know if there is one as the ETHERLIKE MIB also exposes duplex settings for host-based interfaces .. and if we had that, then we could detect duplex mismatches between hosts and switches without doing custom scripting (which is what i have had to do in the past to monitor that). I know there is some momentum in the Net-SNMP community to add at least the duplex part of the ETHERLIKE MIB to the set of MIBs the Net-SNMP agent supports out of the 'box' but that has not happened yet. So at this point as far as I know checking duplex and collision rates from Nagios is best done at the network device level. - Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
