Monitor remote Ubuntu server's bandwidth usage using Nagios?

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I recently setup Nagios for the first time and I love it so far. Figuring out how to better organize all those config files took a while, but once I had a better understanding of everything I'm really enjoying this. I have a current server setup to monitor all our EC2 server instances such as processor load, disk space, memory usage, and so on. I'm using the standard SNMP as well as NRPE to get things like the processor loads from remote machines. That being said, I'd really like to monitor the bandwidth usage of each machine. I've found a number of plugins and guides, but they all seem to (HowTos)

monitor pfSense with nagios 25 weeks 8 hours ago

I have pFsense machine and one nagios(NagiosXI) installed machine. On pfSense machine DHCP server is running.

i want to monitor pfSense i.e DHCP status, interface through nagios using SNMP.

I have add pfSense in Nagios and it is showing CPU usage,swap,memory etc.

In order to monitor your internet bandwidth usage, you can use this Monitor Bandwidth Usage software version 7.0. This software will give you detailed information about the download and upload bandwidth of your computer. Monitor Bandwidth Usage Software is useful for anyone who has quota limited internet connection, so you have to keep on track [...]

You know that we can use the command top to monitor the real-time CPU usage and toggle the result display to the per-processor view by pressing key '1'. The disadvantage of it is you can only monitor either the whole CPU usage or each processor usage. That is, you can't see them simultaneously. Does anyone know this?

I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction of a Virtualmin plugin or script that will allow me to actively monitor INCOMING bandwidth usage on a per virtual server basis.

The built in System Settings > Bandwidth Monitoring combines the IN/OUT Bandwidth usage but I am unable to see just the IN usage breakdown.

Any ideas?

Can we get the network bandwidth usage statistics (of single computer) within a LAN by using SNMP queries?

Thanks.

Edit: I mean to say that we can query a router to get informations such as number of interfaces, total bandwidth usages etc.

[ubuntu] website usage monitor 1 year 10 weeks ago

Hey i am looking for some kind of program to monitor the usage of my web server. I want to be able to see the users connected to my website, usage history, page vists and bandwidth usage and so on. I would also like this information to be graphed and accessible and password protected on the website. I do not want to be able to change any of the configurations for the website with this program.

Nagios DNX plugins 47 weeks 4 days ago

I'm toying with the idea of multiple Nagios instances setup to monitor our infrastructure. I've looked at all the various methods of distributed Nagios checks, and I think DNX comes out the closest. DNX handles failure of worker nodes, that's fine. What happens if the main DNX server fails though? Is there a way to replicate the server too?

Bandwidth usage monitoring 26 weeks 1 day ago

I want to monitor my bandwidth usuage for wired as well wireless devices on my network.

Is there any tool, preferably one that does not use a master or agent concept or requires snmp on every device I want to monitor?

I was searching and found ntop but it is not good enough as it has many limitations.

Afternoon gents,

I'm trying to monitor and graph the currently used bandwidth by Apache, I've been trying to use mod_status with /server-status and just parsing this specific row:

16.1 requests/sec - 34.4 kB/second - 2193 B/request

But unfortunately that's an average value, which means that over time it will basically grind to a halt.
