Network Bandwidth use by Zabbix Agent

[exkg]

Hi Alexei,

We have some itens about Agent Performance (agent[avg_collector_time], etc, etc). Is posible get the network bandwidth espent to each item ?

I think its would be in 'history' table (where we have 3 cloumns: itemid, clock and value) in a column named 'bandwidth' or something like this. And ZABBIX will need one 'key' to this.

Let know what u think about this.

Your question is not very clear.

Are you looking for how much bandwidth the host is using or are you looking to see how much bandwidth is used in when the zabbix server and zabbix agent talk to each other?

When ZABBIX Agent send each item to ZABBIX server. How much bandwidth is used to this ....

It depends on what kind of data is sent back, but it's on the order of a few bytes. For integer I think it's something to the effect of IP Header (16 bytes?) + Zbx header (4 bytes) + data (8 bytes, 64bit)+Zbx footer (2 bytes?).

For things like Char and Text it's going to be a larger data payload. Overall though the protocol is very light.
