PATCH: net.if.total

[marozsas]

Hi !

I need to plot the total bandwidht for a gateway here.
Using only net.if.in/out I was unable to create a graph that shows the total bandwidth (delta(net.if.in+net.if.out)), so I create a new net.if.total.


Check the resulting graph: http://www.zabbix.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=273&stc=1
The net.if.total is the yellow area. Blue is net.if.in and red is net.if.out.

This is my first patch. Sorry any mistake !

That looks very well. Thank you.

Hopefully it will get included into the main distrib!

Could this not be implemented with the new 'aggregate' function?

very interesting!! how do you apply the patch to be able to use it??

I'm sorry. I just realize the way I provide the modified files is not usefull at all.
I'm not a programmer, just a poor sysadmin guy :)

Reading about patching source code, I learned the right way to do this thing.
A new file is provided with this e-mail. This file is suited to apply the patch in an easy way.

The instructions follow:


$ tar -xzvf zabbix-1.1beta9.tar.gz
$ cd zabbix-1.1beta9/
$ unzip ../if.net.total.zip
$ patch -p0 < if.net.total.patch
$ ./configure --enable-server --enable-agent --with-mysql --with-net-snmp
$ make
$ src/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agentd -t net.if.total[eth0]
net.if.total[eth0] [u|739648382]
$


To do a similar graph in my first post, just select the event net.if.total and store as delta (per second).

Sorry for any inconvenience,

PS: This patch is good only for linux. I can't test for others systems. I hope someone can.
