Monitoring Bonding (bond0)

[aic]

Hello All,

I am monitoring NIC interfase with this configuration:

net.if.in[eth0,bytes]


Is it possible monitor Aggregation configuring an entry like this:

net.if.in[bond0,bytes] or net.if.in[bond0:1,bytes]

I did it without successfull results. Is there any other trick?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We are using :

• net.if.in[bond0,bytes]
• net.if.out[bond0,bytes]

to monitor a bonded interface on several Linux servers and they work fine.

However, I don't know if it works for an alias (bond0:1).

Regards,
Alixen

Thanks for your e-mail.

I tried and I am not getting info if I set up ...[bond0:1]

So, can I assume we will get this feature in a future release?

Thanks!

It is probably a limitation in Linux not Zabbix.
I have no aliases on bonded interfaces but on an ethernet interface, ifconfig gives following results:

As you can see, there is no statistics on aliases. All traffic is reported on main interface.

Thanks alixen!

I guess you are correct. I re-checked and I am not gathering statistics on aliases either.
