[Observium] Alerting on Bandwidth

Hi Gang,

I’m hoping someone can point me to the best answer for this…

I can’t use network weathermap on my Observium server. I do need to monitoring available bandwidth on ports. Many ports on many of the 100 routers have different available bandwidths (e.g. our shot from one mountain to another might have a 100M ifspeed but due to the 30 mile link the actual throughput is 15M).

I have some ideas: 1) use alerts to specify the router and port which is cumbersome (using ifInOctets_rate and ifOutOctets_rate) 2) query SQL directly and write a program to parse and display 3) Something I haven’t tested, just use the generic rule I have written and modify the ifspeed on the appropriate ports to what the actual bandwidth is.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Joey
