I'm having problems sourcing a plug-in to monitor CPU and interface bandwidth. I would also prefer plug-ins with output to allow graphing trends by PNP4Nagios. Do you know of any?

Additionally to that, depending on the switch, I also check the Cisco Stack status, the memory usage and either a single port or several port ranges for their operational status.

I configure the switch to send traps to the Nagios server (received using snmptrapd and processed using snmptt), and configure the switch so that traps are sent if switch-switch links go up/down but not ordinary switch ports with servers and PCs on. Other than that, I monitor link bandwidth where it really interests me, for example on the ports serving our most busy systems and one or two which link main data centres together. The usual rule with Nagios parent relationships is that the parent is the device closer to the Nagios server than the child. Don't forget you can have more than one parent if that's how your network is. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] 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 ************************************************************************ The information in this internet E-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
