David, You could use something like the check_iftraffic3 plug-in, that would also give you bandwidth useage.

I'm looking to use a special check command to verify routers are in operation by checking the main link port of the router (instead of the default ping). I'm running into confusion, because I need to specify a port number in the host definition, and I can't really see how to do it. I use soemthing like this for a template: define host { name snmp-switch ; The name of this host template use generic-switch #check_command check-host-alive ; Default command to check if routers are "alive" check_command check-snmp-switch-alive $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE } I'm not sure the args on the check_command line are legal And I'm not sure that arguments on a "use snmp-switch" line referencing this could have arguments on them. Is this a possible / sane thing to do? Is this the right way to approach it, or am I missing a way that actually makes sense? -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
