Monitor Windows total Send / Received On network

[acokeaday]

Hi,

I would like to monitor total network in and out from a particular node.

I know at current the traffic monitored is separated by NIC.

I would like to have a total.

At current I've tried using the following Keys:

perf_counter["\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Received/sec"]
perf_counter["\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Sent/sec"]

net.if.in[,bytes]
net.if.out[,bytes]

net.if.in[{IPADDRESS},bytes]
net.if.out[{IPADDRESS},bytes]

You could:
- define a stacked graph where both values are displayed one above the other, showing the total sum of both values. But there is no calculation done
- define a "calculated item" which simply reads
{net.if.in[,bytes].last(0)} + {net.if.out[,bytes].last(0)}


P.S.
"net.if.in[{IPADDRESS},bytes]" and "net.if.out[{IPADDRESS},bytes]" are not supported I'm afraid

net.if.XX expects an interface name as parameter, not an IP address.

Hi steveboyson,

Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid i don't understand how to go about doing it.


I understand the concept where by i have stacked data.

do i put this in the key field when creating an item?

{net.if.in[,bytes].last(0)} + {net.if.out[,bytes].last(0)}

how will i add a wild card as the interface parameter

You have to create a stacked graph and select the previously "autocreated" items as graph "members".

If you're using Zabbix 2.x there is a bulitin autodiscovery rule which detects all network interfaces.

Simply add a graph prototype in the template "Template OS Windows" as shown in the picture.

For a calculated item, create a new "item prototype" of type "Calculated", see 2nd screenshot.

hi steveboyson,

I think i may have structured my question wrongly.

I would like to have 2 graph data.

1- in
eg, nic: lan1, lan2

net.if.in(lan1,) + net.if.in(lan2,)

but since it is auto discovered, how am i able to have it all sum together

2-out

likewise:
eg, nic: lan1, lan2

net.if.out(lan1,) + net.if.out(lan2,)

is there a wild card i can use, in auto discover like net.if.in(*,) or net.if.in(#ifname.last(0))

[steveboyson]

Ok, you want to sum values from different NICs.

Then you cannot use the discovery rules or templates.
Go to your host and create host items. There you can pick the already discovered NICs and create new graphs, items, triggers etc.

You might need to quote {#IFNAME} in your formula.

EDIT:
rather use:
last("net.if.out[NIC1]") + last("net.if.out[NIC2]") as described in https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...pes/calculated

Substitute NIC1 and NIC2 with your current NIC names as discovered.
