Bandwidth monitoring

Hi All, Do anyone know (have server-side scripts) how to centraly monitor Bandwidth usage of switches/servers/router etc.? If so how do I configure this step-by-step in Hobbit? Thanks... Kind Regards, DNS

I use mrtg. It can query via snmp routers and servers and store the data in a rrd file (just like hobbit). I never tried to integrade the information in hobbit, but I'm sure it can be done. Stef

Look here for integrading mrtg in hobbit http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/hobbit-mrtg.html

the integration is described in here : http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/hobbit-mrtg.html this will simply add the graphs in the trend columns (by default) for the client.

Or, you can run bbmrtg.pl and have it generate alerts. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CISSP #78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com

How about devmon? It requires much less care and feeding than MRTG if you are concerned about the entire device -- if you only care about certain interfaces than MRTG is probably a better fit. However, devmon only supports a few (though common!) device types, so you might also be better off with MRTG if you are using "unusual" equipment. GLH

Hi GLH, Devmon: OK How do i monitor bandwidth with DEVMON? And graph this? Thanks... DNS

Devmon doesn't support snmp V3, which is a requirement for me. MRTG does.

mrtg supports templates just like devmon does. Once I have the templates built, it works fine. The only big issue is that you have to read the rrd files twice, and that requires really fast hardware when you have several thousand points to monitor. we had to upgrade this year when we had over 5500 points on snmp v3. Currently I'm monitoring 6502 snmp v3 targets and 1921 snmp v1/2 targets, and feeding it all into Hobbit. With the new hardware, our load average: 0.49, 0.70, 0.79

Doesn't really help you right now, but the next Hobbit version includes a module to fetch data from SNMP devices, e.g. to generate graphs of the network traffic on switch/router interfaces. Henrik
