In addition to the two mentioned in the FAQ, there is also NeDi (http://nedi.ch). It's not built for integration with Nagios, but it is open source and uses a MySQL backend. Great tool with lots of cool features. Thanks, Garry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Do you have the ability to use loopback addresses on these devices? If so, that would be used as the host address, and then you could use other checks for the interfaces. For instance, all of my Cisco routers have a loopback setup. I then use 'check_ifstatus' to check the individual interfaces.

Even if this did relate to Nagios, I'm not sure I understand your question. 'Traffic data' doesn't use any port, it just resides on the device you are monitoring. MRTG (and other apps) gather data from devices using SNMP. You should join the MRTG mailing list, and ask a more specific question

I think you should take a look at NeDI, the Network Discovery tool. http://nedi.ch/ It's much more than a plugin, it's an application all its own. But it does network discovery, which is what you're looking for, and Nagios does not. Use the correct tool for the job. Thanks, Garry
