Hi I want to monitor the bandwidth usage on my linux box using nagios. I checked the already existing plugins that i downloaded. I found that the plugin named as : "check_mrtgtraf" can be used to achieve this functionality. When i read through its help page i sensed that it reads these values from a file on the target machine which i want to monitor. I have no prior experience working with MRTG.
Can some one throw some more light on how this plugin is used ? What is the log file that it reads that data from the target machine being monitored ? What do i need to do as a pre-requisite to use this plugin on the target machine ? Is there any other way like say via SNMP that i can achieve the similar functonality ? Appreciate your responses.
