monitoring virtual interface eth0:1

[nitram]

Hi,

I have the following problem: I'd like to monitor a created virtual interface eth0:1 on a Linux Debian OS. In zabbix, I get for the following message "not supported" in the "Status" column. What did i wrong, I tried several types of syntax.

"net.if.in[eth0:1,bytes]"
"net.if.in[eth01,bytes]"

Is it possible to monitor this type of Interface? BTW I'm using zabbix 1.6.2.
Hope you can help me.

I don't think the kernel normally keeps any stats for individual interface aliases.

You'll notice from the output of 'ifconfig' or 'ip -s link' that stats aren't kept for interface aliases. You may need to install some specific IP accounting software to get stats per IP.
