Good day.
Some nitpicking ;)
ifconfig is deprecated was replaced by ip.
Depending on your configuration a system under very heavy
memory pressure may timeout executing external programms,
so reading files from the in memory sysfs may be a better choice.
If you are only Linux (no HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, etc.) all
information can also be found in files in the sysfs mount (usually
/sys) in /sys/class/net/<device>
Link state: /sys/class/net/operstate
Negotiated/configured link speed: /sys/class/net/speed
Negotiated/configured duplex mode: /sys/class/net/duplex
MTU: /sys/class/net/mtu
Error/drop and other counters are in the corresponding files
in /sys/class/net/<device>/statistics/
Note: those are 64 bit _counter_ values, if you want the rate
you have to keep the previous value, calculate the difference
and check for counter overflows.
If you have non-Ethernet network interfaces the kernel also provides
similar information in /sys/class, e.g. for Infinband devices
in /sys/class/infiniband/<hca>/ports/<port>
or FibreChannel devices in /sys/class/fc_host/ /sys/class/fc_vports/ and
/sys/class/fc_remote_ports/
Obviously all commands must be executed on the client (assuming
Icinga2).
My 2 euro cents.
So long,
Andreas.
