BANDWIDTH
From ServersCheck Wiki
Contents |
Description
Bandwidth Check is based on SNMP service, so computer with ServersCheck and remote computer must have installed Microsoft SNMP service (or in the case of some other network device it must has started SNMP service). ServersCheck will retrieve SNMP packets from remote computer (or device) with data about incoming and outgoing traffic on any network interface which will be added (and will form network bandwidth).
Definition
Beside general settings for each check, which are similar for all checks, there are following Check Specific Settings which also need to be setup. In the Check Specific Settings, there are following fields you need to supply with parameters:
- Select an incoming traffic interface - These are predefined OIDs to help you enable inbound traffic monitoring.
- Select an outgoing traffic interface - These are predefined OIDs to help you enable outbound traffic monitoring.
- Server - The IP address or DNS name of the remote network device.
- Community String - The Community String.
- SNMP Port - The SNMP port (default is 161).
- Incoming OID - The OID of the wanted SNMP check to be performed. Make sure that the OID ends with .0
- Outgoing OID - The OID of the wanted SNMP check to be performed. Make sure that the OID ends with .0
- Show bandwidth in - Select the unit in which traffic should be shown.
- Set status DOWN when - In which case of average traffic will be raised DOWN alert when the returned value exceeds the defined limite value in the same unit as for which traffic is shown
Returned Results
This check returns results:
- Could a connection and login be made to the server.
- Incoming Traffic
- Outgoing Traffic
- Average Traffic
- DOWN status if average trafic meets placed conditions.
Graphs
When the graphing option is activated then ServersCheck will produce for this check three graphs: Value, Service Level, Availability.
