Perf Counters Network Card monitoring.

[markclark]

Hi all,

probably something simple that i am missing here. hope someone can give me a hand to sort this out.

im trying to setup a performance counter to monitor network usages on the servers NIC for sent / received data.

tried looking around and a few areas but no joy.

Ive tried creating the Zabbix Agent and used a few different strings such as below

perf_counter=nic0_in,"\Network Interface(Intel[R] 82567LM-2 GigaBit Network Connection)\Bytes Recieved/Sec",60

perf_counter="Network Interface(Intel[R] 82567LM-2 GigaBit Network Connection)\Bytes Recieved/Sec",60

perf_counter=nic0_in,"Network Interface(Intel[R] 82567LM-2 GigaBit Network Connection)\Bytes Recieved/Sec",60

net.if.in[if, Intel[R] 82567LM-2 GigaBit Network Connection]

and a few others but no joy.

help?

thanks!

Ok think ive got it working...

having to use the

net.if.out[IP,bytes] which then gives me the bandwidth across the NIC.

Could you turn this into a percentage and would this work if i used the gateway IP instead if want to monitor a router that doesnt have SNMP?

or is there a way to monitor network traffic over a router to the internet without SNMP?

thanks
