FYI, one thing I wanted to add to check_snmp is to monitor couter-based data by adding a timestamp and last value to performance data string, and passing it back to the plugin on the command name (I have a plugin I haven't released yet that does that out of CSV-formatted windows performance data - it parses the last timestamp and value, then calculate the average). Unfortunately I think it's a bit too sort till the next release to get it out in 1.4.13, even if I manage to find the time to get it done quickly...

It wouldn't help on that, that's out of scope of check_snmp... > b) tracks both traffic and interface errors Using separate service, yes (it would work under the same service too, but I don't think it would be very clear). Perhaps with the planned new thresholds formats (big project - haven't started coding yet) something could be done about that. > c) looks decent in PNP I don't know - it should if you can configure PNP to get the performance counters you want and associate decent name to them. > d) snmp v3 IIRC check_snmp supports v3 - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI1Tkh6dZ+Kt5BchYRAhTxAJ9X03gpTJGr+d57OkFdWbNlrYT1EACg/1Kd lS7A2nADo78fu9yAX6fVS9A= =qZup -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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
