Title: Bandwidth monitoring with snmp
Post by: DanG on July 06, 2012, 05:02:11 PM
Hi,

Is it possible to monitor interface bandwidth of a Juniper SSG with NetXMS?

Thanks,
Dan

This really should be all just part of the standard SNMP Mib for interfaces which NetXMS handles.  I don't have any Juniper, but I know all of our other routers / switches had all of their interfaces detected by the software.  Just right click on the interface you are interested in from the console and select "Create Data Collection Items".  Will allow bytes, packets and errors to be easily collected/graphed. 

If you need more than those items inside the Mib itself you can get much more if needed for some reason like unicast/broadcast/multicast traffic counters, discards, ... One starting place (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1) for this.  Also the ifXTable for 64 bit counters which I would suspect your Juniper supports.  See the RFC for details (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2233.txt (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2233.txt)).

Hope this helps.

Hi lweidig,

Thanks for answering.
After configuring the SSG to allow snmp communication, after reading some more on snmp I got it working :-)
The OID's you mention did the trick.

Thanks again,

Dan
