I can seem to search the archives on the xymon site. Can anyone maybe a suggest a way to do this. I have alinusx server I would like to monitor the trhoughput of the network card and graph it. Thanks

Can you compile the Xymon client on it? If so you can easily get this: http://tinyurl.com/2adluv2 • *Josh Luthman Office: XXX-XXX-XXXX Direct: XXX-XXX-XXXX XXXX Wayne St Suite XXXX Troy, OH XXXXX

That looks good but I was more hoping for a external program. Is there any such programme. Thanks

Can someone please point me in the direction of how to use the ifstat and enable it on clients to report back to the main hobbit server. Thanks

You're asking how to monitor a remote interface? You could put a Mikrotik and bridge two interfaces. Not sure what else can be offered on the xymon list. On Nov 22, 2010 12:09 AM, <user-7de8f896e813@xymon.invalid> wrote:

MRTG is designed to do just that, and does it well. bbmrtg.pl can integrate the mrtg graphs into xymon Some on this group will recommend devmon. I've not used it so can't vouch for its fitness.

If you have 'sar' on the system, that'll give you transmit/receive bytes/packets per second. Failing that, you can use 'ifconfig'. In either case, you'll need to write a script to capture the output and extract the interface(s) information to forward to your Xymon server. On the server side, you'll need to set up ncv to capture the information for graphing. Ralph Mitchell
