You need three things to make this happen: a) the ifstat page needs to
exist, b) svcstatus.cgi needs to know that graphs exist, and c) an
[ifstat] graph definition must exist in graphs.cfg.
Hello,

Thanks for this. However, I should have thought it through a bit more.
What I actually want is to monitor the network interface(s) so that if
the bandwidth gets to, say, 70% utilised then we get a yellow status, at
90% we get red. Similar to the 'cpu' and 'disk' monitoring and the
LOAD/DISK entries in the analysis.cfg file. I was hoping that something
similar was available for the network interfaces (and that we could have
a separate column for 'ifstat' as well).

I suspect I'll need to write a short script to detect the bandwidth
being used by the clients and send the relevant status back to the
server.


John.
