zabbix monitor bandwidth

[jaxxm]

Hi all

A customer asked how much bandwidth zabbix's monitoring takes up. They have a certain amount of bandwidth and they have to run all network communication from the region to the head-office through it.

Any ideas on how i can calculate. I know it depends on the amount of queries per second, but if i can give them a rough estimation that would be great. Or the bandwidth for, for example, the linux or aix template.

thanks.

Any one who can help please?

You should just tcpdump on the wireshark server and monitor it for a typical hour to answer this question.

Give a look at pmacct, it should solve the problem and it can be monitored through snmp
