Rick,
Not sure if this will help (it will - its just a matter of how much time you
have to set it up), if you have heard about linix app Ntop? After fighting with
it in Linix (I'm not a linix guy) I found a Windows installer build at
OpenXtra. You can set it up with RRDtool.
It will give you m
Actually, I hadn't even thought about monitoring both interfaces Good
points.
However, in my case, I was looking for something to monitor the amount of
bandwidth we're receiving. I'm currently working with our sales rep to
determine how they manage our SLA. I was simply looking for somethin
BUT,
The problem is the failure you are trying to detect:
In a 4-T configuration, you should have 6Meg of bandwidth. What I heard Risk
ask for is an alarm or indication that he is only getting 4.5Meg of bandwidth
(specific numbers are examples).
MRTG makes this visually obvious as a flat
It may be beneficial to check each interface. Not sure what kind of equipment
you have but with Cisco even a banded T1 has two interfaces. You can check the
state of both interfaces (up or down). We do monitor our interfaces this way.
We don't have any banded T1s but it works like a charm.
Yeah, weâve had issues with our banded T1 where one is down. Weâre only
getting 1.54 instead of the full 3â¦. Weâre digging up the SLA, but I want
to ensure we get what weâre paying for. I already have checks to ensure
that the WAN link is up, just looking for something to check h
Henrique,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid you're missing my point. I don't have
a problem monitoring SNMP (SA does it very well). The difficulty I have is
creating RRD databases and graphs to any level of complexity. What I need,
therefore, is some handy GUI front end to RRDTool tha
Rick,
We use SNMP checks extensively within SA to monitor our entire European WAN.
What exactly is it that you are trying to monitor? Is it simply whether each
WAN line is up or down, or are you trying to record bandwidth or errors or
something like that?
