Just a simple plugin to monitor bandwidth usage and Line Utilization on a IPCOP Firewall using the Nagios check_by_ssh plugin. Note: You can also use it to monitor any Linux distro on which you can install vnstat. (The instructions included are for IPCOP, but should be pretty similar.)

Prerequisites:

IPCOP (DUH)
vnstat plugin for IPCOP. (see http://www.ipadd.de/binary.html)

Installation:

Setup SSH Private/Public Key Authentication between your Nagios Server and the IPCOP Box.
Copy plugin to your ipcop box. (scp -P 222 check_bandwidth.sh ipcop_ip_address:/home/hagios/check_bandwidth.sh)
Setup Check Command in nagios.
Add the service to your IPCOP Host in nagios.

Usage:

I,ve added 4 slots for specifying paramaters to vnstat.

Example: ./check_bandwidth.sh -d -i eth0

See vnstat documentation for details on available parameters.

Please use check_traffic_limit instead!

No fault of the author of this plugin, thanks for trying, but check_traffic_limit is a much better plugin! I wish I had found it before rewriting this plugin.
