Hi,
I want to monitor & alert on the total data traffic on certain ethernet ports (servers/network devices).
I want to have a rough estimate of data that passes each day/month on the device.
I also want to alert if more then x amount of data on a daily base goes over an interface.
What I now have done:
created 2 items:
Total incoming bytes on eth0
net.if.in[eth0,bytes]
Total outgoing bytes on eth0
net.if.out[eth0,bytes]
and 2 calculated items:
Total incoming bytes on eth0 during last day
net.if.in.lastday[eth0]
Total outgoing bytes on eth0 during last day
net.if.out.lastday[eth0]
The calculated items have this formula:
last("net.if.in[{#IFNAME},bytes]")-last("net.if.in[{#IFNAME},bytes]",,1d)
This kinda works, but givens only the data for the previous day from NOW (so 21h yesterday to 21h today)
Couple of questions:
- Is there maybe a better approach to do this?
- Is there a way to display data for the current day? so from midnight to now. Same for a month, from midnight the first till now.
- Ideally, i would be able to create something like this:

Thanks!
