Hi,

Anyone know of any software that measures the bandwidth and gives me a little statistics? I want it to be easy to install and configure.

Regards

Theres a web site called this site can test bandwidth/throughput to its domain . I'm not sure if this is was you need ,
however it seems to be a reliable site . [sig][/sig]
 
At the risk of sounding like an ad or a recorder, Look at
They have something called "gauges" that gives realtime stats via anmp of the interfaces you want. It also works on 3com due to SNMP ( and I guess any other that has MIBS with the correct calls)

I should say that I have no biz ties to solarwinds other then being a happy customer and I tend to push what works for me.

Hi

Try looking out for MRTG... although a bit more difficult to install, it's 100% free and gives you a lot of options

Any advice on Installing MRTG ? I have had a heck of a time trying to install it.
 
S O L A R W I N D ;-)

what exactly is the problem? Do you have perl install and working correctly? which platform?

Find me at
"The trouble with giving up civil rights is that you never get them back"
 
I think my problem is with Perl. Once I have Perl and MRTG installed, how do I run the program ?
 
If running on a windows platform this may help.

Install Perl and MRTG in their default location.

To build a simple and default configuration file copy the follwing to a batch file call "BldCfg.bat"
Run the batch file: bldcfg public@10.10.10.10
This will create a default called BLDCFG.cfg in the current directory and the edit it so you can 'adjust' it to su-te.

Watch out for line raps. This only has 13 lines include blank lines.
====================== copy from here to next ==========
@Echo Off
: BldCfg.bat
If "%1"=="" ECHO Forgot readstring@ipaddress
If "%1"=="" GoTo End99

:: --snmp-options=:[<port>][:[<tmout>][:[<retr>][:[<backoff>][:<ver>]]]]
:: config generates a [title] by: --ifdesc nr|ip|eth|descr|name|type|alias
:: config generates a interf by: --ifref alias|name|ip|eth|descr|type
:: perl ..\bin\cfgmaker --global "options[_]: bits" --ifdesc=alias %1>BldCfg.CFG
perl ..\bin\cfgmaker --global "options[_]: bits" --ifdesc=descr --ifref=name %1>BldCfg.CFG

NotePad BldCfg.cfg
:End99
===================== Stop one line above this =========

To test try this: test bldcfg
Note: no not pass the '.cfg' on the command line

This will make on pass through the config file you passed on the ocmmand line and dump all error to bldcfg.log file

This has 8 lines including any blank lines
====================== start copy below ===========
@Echo off
: Test.bat {mrtg-config-file}
:if "%1"=="" GoTo End
if exist %1.log del %1.log
:pERL C:\mrtg-2.10.15\bin\MRTG C:\mrtg-2.10.15\cfg\%1.cfg --logging %1.log --debug="base,tarp"
PERL C:\mrtg-2.10.15\bin\MRTG C:\mrtg-2.10.15\cfg\%1.cfg --logging %1.log
notepad %1.log %1.cfg
:End
=================== stop copy one line above ============

This is a poor mans setup and test but it works.

Hope this helps.
