Hello,

I have several IDS sensors that I would like to take bandwidth snapshots of
the IDS interface.  I noticed that the ifstat command to grab the statistics
only grabs statistics for the interface with an IP address assigned to it; I
have tried modifying it to grab the statistics for the unnumbered interface,
but it still does not return any data.  The sensors run FreeBSD.

So, does anyone know of a way to get Xymon to gather statistics of an
interface that is up with an active link (one-way tap) but does not have an
IP address?

Thanks,

Conrad
Hi Conrad... Why not just monitor the ethernet port on the switch the IDS is
plugged into?
