Version: 2.0

Usage: check_iftraffic.pl -H host -i if_descr -b if_max_speed [ -w warn ] [ -c crit ]


Options:

-h --help
    This text.

-l --license
    The license information.

-H --host STRING or IPADDRESS
    Check interface on the indicated host.

-C --community STRING
    SNMP Community.

-s --snmp_version 1 | 2 | 2c
    Specify the snmp version. The current version supports 1 and 2c.

-i --interface STRING
    Interface Name

-b --bandwidth INTEGER
    Interface maximum speed in kilo/mega/giga/Bits per second. See
    the units options for details. This value is used for the
    warning and critical threshold calculation.

-u --units STRING
    Specify the unit of the bandwith options
    Possible values for binary prefix:
      Tibit = tebibits/s ( 2 ** 40 bits )
      Gibit = gibibits/s ( 2 ** 30 bits )
      Mibit = mebibits/s ( 2 ** 20 bits )
      Kibit = kibibits/s ( 2 ** 10 bits )

    Possible values for decimal prefix
      Tbit = terabits/s ( 10 ** 12 )
      Gbit = gigabits/s ( 10 ** 9 )
      Mbit = megabits/s ( 10 ** 6 )
      kbit = kilobits/s ( 10 ** 3 )

      b = bits/s

    Compatibility to older version of check_iftraffic
      g = Gbit
      m = Mbit
      k = kbit

    The unit string is not case sensitive.

-w --warning INTEGER
    % of bandwidth usage necessary to result in warning status.
    Default: 85%

-c --critical INTEGER
    % of bandwidth usage necessary to result in critical status.
    Default: 98%

-M --max INTEGER
    Max Counter Value of net devices in kilo/mega/giga/bytes.

-d --directory STRING
    Directory for temporary and history files.

-x --history
