Using zabbix agent or SNMP ?

[imonteirov]

Yes, agent 1.1.1 . but i don't know ( and don't finding.. ) set item for monitoring Packets in/out

[Calimero]

Don't know if it was already implemented in agent 1.1.1 but:

net.if.in[eth0,packets]
net.if.out[eth0,packets]

works fine on agent 1.1.4

Ok! My agent W32 is 1.1.1. ethx interface don't available . My lab use Windows...

OK, you're on Windows. I think you need to use Performance Counters, using: something like perf_counter[\Network Interface(Realtek RTL8169_8110 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC)\Bytes Total/sec].

I'm not familiar with these (I've only tested zabbix agent on Linux, and SNMP on both W32 ans Linux) so you should search the forum for the right syntax.

Alternatively you could use SNMP.

Afaik is a eth0 name for a Microsoft NIC not possible. Use 'ipconfig -all' in a cmd and copy the name of the Interface to the agentd.conf. Don't forget to restart the service.

I got a similar Problem please help. The NIC got a #2 in the Name. Is there a way to use a UNIX like (\#2) way to handle this special char. Name chage of the NIC is not possible. Using of the first NIC will checked this Time but seems also not possible.

Solved: I test it on a now (1.1.6) Agent. You did not need the NIC Name. The Connection Name (in German 'LAN-Verbindung') is working too. There are no special char.
