(Now I can jump into the fray) The way we do this here is to use MRTG. You *CAN* get the total traffic used by a host with MRTG - if you use the routers2 frontend, rather than 14all or native, you can get 95th percentiles and total traffic use on a port. You can also total over multiple ports for a multi-interfaced host if you define a userdefined graph for the appropriate ports. However, this is getting out of the scope of a Nagios newsgroup. See here for example: http://www.steveshipway.org/cgi-bin/routers2.pl?rtr=hosts%2Fhost-a.cfg&xgtyp e=d&if=host-a-snmp-if-2 We run both MRTG (for graphs) and Nagios (for alerts) here. They use the same agents for data collection (SNMP, pNSclient, NRPE) and we have the MRTG/routers2 Nagios plugin to link from MRTG to Nagios, and use the hostextinfo urls to link from Nagios to MRTG. Works well. Email me directly if you'd like some specifics on how we configure Nagios/MRTG for this.
