Hostgroup-Traffic-By-Interface-And-Bandwith-Ranges¶

Description¶

Goal:

This report shows the average bandwith usage distibution of network interfaces, for a given hostgroup.

How to interpret the report?

First page¶

On the first page, we can see the bandwidth usage ranges in percent by interval.

Intervals are:

Null usage
Low usage
Average usage
High usage
Very high usage

These intervals are configurable.

Next pages¶

The next pages are automatically generated for all interfaces of the selected hostgroup ( one page per interface). Each page dispays the bandwidth usage by inetrval with a repartition by:

Hour of the day
Day of the week
Day of the month

Parameter	Parameter type	Description
Groupe d’hôtes	Dropdown list	Host group to use
Host Categories	Multi select	Host categries to use
Service Categories	Multi select	Service categories to use
Low level treshold (%)	Number	Low threshold of bandwidth usage (between 0 and 100)
Average level threshold (%)	Number	Average threshold of brandwidh usage (between 0 and 100)
High level threshold (%)	Number	High threshold of brandwidh usage (between 0 and 100)
Inbound traffic metric	Dropdown list	Metric name of the inbound traffic
Outbound traffic metric	Dropdown list	Metric name of the outbound traffic

Prerequisites :¶

To ensure consistency in graphs and statistics, some prerequisites are necessary regarding to performance data returned by plugins.

Performance data are data returned by a plugin after the “pipe” - “|” , these data have to be returned as follow:

output-plugin | traffic_in=valueunit;warning_treshold;critical_treshold;minimum;maximum traffic_out=value

It is important to make sure that plugins return the maximum value because lot of statistics are based on percentage, calculated using this maximum value. Be sure that the traffic plugins return one metric for traffic in and one for traffic out. The unit must be Bits/sec.
