This is a Nagios plugin to check network traffic with NRPE on Linux. This script has been created because I like writing Python scripts.
Note that only myself tested this script so far. Feedbacks are very welcome.
- Python 2.x
- The python-argparse library
This script has been tested under Python 2.x only. I don't know if it works unders Python 3.
This script has been tested under Nagios 3.x only. I have no idea how it behaves with older versions.
How to get some help:
check_iftraffic_nrpe.py --help
Query all interfaces except the loopback interface:
check_iftraffic_nrpe.py -x lo
Query only eth1:
check_iftraffic_nrpe.py -i eth1
Set warning value to 80% (default: warning=85, critical=98):
check_iftraffic_nrpe.py -w 80
Define a Gigabit interface (the value must be in bytes):
check_iftraffic_nrpe.py --bandwidth=131072000
