Router Monitoring


Capabilities

Nagios provides complete router monitoring via SNMP. Routers can be monitored via SNMP v1, 2c, or 3. For this type of monitoring, thousands of different network devices are by default enabled. You can easily monitor port utilization on the router as well as the current port status. Additionally, by querying other SNMP metrics on the router with Nagios plugins, you can monitor the following metrics for each port on the router:

  • ifInUcastPkts
  • ifOutUcastPkts
  • ifInNUcastPkts
  • ifOutNUcastPkts
  • ifInDiscards
  • ifOutDiscards
  • ifInErrors
  • ifOutErrors
  • ifInUnknownProtos
  • and so many more!

Nagios XI makes this process even easier by allowing you to run the router monitoring wizard to automate the whole setup process.
