check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh - Interface statistics plugin.
Usage: check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh [options]
-h : Display this help text.
-i REGX : Include the interface(s) matched by the REGX regular
expression. Defaults to showing all interfaces.
Specify this option multiple times to add more.
-x REGX : Exclude the interface(s) matched by the REGX regular
expression. Defaults to excluding none. Excludes
will override any includes.
Specify this option multiple times to add more.
-k : Don't include the slaves of bond devices or bond
devices with no slaves.
-p : Include performance data (for graphing).
-b : Brief - exclude stats in status message. Useful for
systems with many interfaces where a large status
message might cause truncation of the performance data.
-I NAME : Interface that must always be included. This is not a
regular expression - it should match one interface only.
Emits warning if an interface specified here is down.
Specify this option multiple times to add more.
-a : Semi automatic. This will try to work out if the
interface is intentionally down or not and alert in
the latter case. For example, if the administrator
did 'ip li set eth2 up' then it would alert when down,
but if instead 'ip li set eth2 down' then there would
be no alert; the loopback device should always be up.
-d : Exclude devices which are down, unless specifically
included with '-I', in which case, a warning will be
issued that the interface is down.
-D NAME : Don't include performance stats for NAME interface.
-B : Use bytes/s instead of bits/s in message output.
-s : The interface speed in Mbits/s. This will be set the
same for all selected interfaces. E.g. 1, 5, 10, 100.
Default is 100.
-w NUM : Warning threshold percentage. Warn when bandwidth
usage exceeds NUM percent of the maximum. Interfaces
in the '-D', no performance stats, list will not be
checked. Default is 0, which also means, off.
Examples:
Check all interfaces:
./check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh
Show when loopback is down but don't create performance stats
for it:
./check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh -D lo -p
Show when loopback is down but don't create performance stats
for it, create performance stats for everything else, don't
show slaves of bond devices or downed interfaces:
./check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh -D lo -p -k -d
Same as previous but use the smarter '-a' instead of '-d'.
If the admin set the interface to be up but the interface is
down then an alert will be raised.
./check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh -D lo -p -k -a
Same as previous but assume all interfaces are 100mbit and
alert if either inboud or outbound traffic exceeds 95%.
./check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh -D lo -p -k -a -s 100 -w 95

Hi,
The check is very good, works well.
On RHEL, CentOS to solve SElinux issue use the restorecon utility:
restorecon /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_iftraffic_nrpe.sh

Hello,
really good plugin doing the job.
The issue I have on centos 7 is with selinux.
Even using audit2allow to add rules i can't get it working :'(. The plugin tries to read things in /proc and get access denied.
