Network usage on Windows

[tchjts1]

Anybody have an idea how I could get zabbix to count all the data daily being sent and recieved and put it into a table or whatever? Shouldn't be that complicated since it's recording the current kb/sec out and in. If I could make some kind of table to display the montly usage for each interface.. that would be awesome.

Why not build a screen to graph the usage? That is what we do. You can then go back over any period (up to a year) and look at the numbers. We're currently running 1.5.3 which has a nice resizing capability in the graphs. You just click and drag over the time period you want to view and it redraws the graph for that period.

Anyway. Go to Configuration --> Screens and create a screen. name it something useful. The graphs would probably all pertain to that particular server. Click on one of the "change" links and insert the info you want to use. I set mine to be 3 columns wide and however many rows I need. Then I set the graphs to be 350 x 100. For starters, go with "Simple Graph" and select the parameter that you want to be graphed. make sure you are selecting from the correct host.

If you want to use "Graph", you have to go to Configuration --> Graphs and create one for those parameters/hosts and then you can put them in your screens. A Simple graph only contains one item.

Graphs can contain many similar grouped items. Attached is one that we do for a Sql server to show packet errors.

Yeah I figured out how to make a graph and have one for each client server which we need to record the data for.

But what I need is a quick and easy display for the datausage in GB for each month. How would I do that?

Network Monitoring for Fast Ethernet Interface on Windows

Hello All,

I have read all the post of Network Monitoring with Zabbix Agent and none of them work. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I think there is a problem with the config of the parameters that have been defined.

Thank you in advanced.

You would need to show us how you have things configured and any error messages in order for us to help you.

You would need to show us how you have things configured and any error messages in order for us to help you.

In my config file called: zabbix_agentd.conf I added the following lines:
PerfCounter= NetIn,"\Network Interface(Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter)\Bytes Received/sec",30
PerfCounter= NetOut,"\Network Interface(Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter)\Bytes Sent/sec",30

Then I when to services and restart the Zabbix agent service.

After that I when to the Zabbix Server webpage: Configuration->Items and add a new Item called: NetOut with the Key as described in this forum. Trying to see if with any of the options you guys mention here works, but none of them came with a good result because the service is unavailable and is not active to be monitored.

Please let me know what you think I'm doing wrong in the config of the item or in the config of the sabbix agent config.

damn....

try to use:

perf_counter[\Network Interface(Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE [NDIS VBD Client])\Bytes Received/sec]

but can't add this item:

Error in item key: incorrect usage of bracket symbols. ')' found after final bracket.

I think i need to escape [NDIS VBD Client] section, but i can't find right escape sequence....

please help.

1.8.4 (Linux Gentoo R5)

(so strange: 1.8.3 at freeBSD works fine without escaping).

[Anth0ny]

please, can anybody help me?

[Anth0ny]

resolved: add quotes to key

perf_counter["\Network Interface(Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE [NDIS VBD Client])\Bytes Received/sec"]
