Disclaimer: this is most probably not the best way to do this.
Context: I use icinga2 to monitor most of my servers and (home/office) routers. Since icinga collects "perfdata" (performance data) and supports sending that data to Graphite, I then use Grafana to produce graphics of the network usage on my network.
Quick notes for me:
generate an ssh key for the nagios user in /var/lib/nagios/.ssh (easier done by doing a sudo to nagios, to avoid having to fix permissions/ownership afterwards).
scan known hosts, so that icinga doesn't get stuck, ex: "ssh-keyscan -H example.bidon.ca >> /var/lib/nagios/.ssh/known_hosts"
copy the "check_bandwidth" script to the OpenWRT device. (nb: check_bandwidth was written by Benjamin Dos Santos, I did two small changes in my fork to support OpenWRT and output the status in the format required for perfdata).
Define a command in Icinga2 in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/commands.conf (or whatever conf file):
object CheckCommand "bandwidthssh" {
import "by_ssh"
vars.by_ssh_command = "/usr/bin/check_bandwidth -i $interface$"
vars.by_ssh_logname = "root"
}
Define a service in /etc/icinga2/conf.d/services/bandwidth.conf (or whatever conf file) :
apply Service for (iface => config in host.vars.ifaces) {
import "generic-service"
check_command = "bandwidthssh"
vars += config
# NB: you probably want to use another condition/hostgroup
assign where "reseaulibre-relays" in host.groups
}
Then define the interfaces that should be monitored for each host:
object Host "latakia.bidon.ca" {
import "generic-host"
groups = [ "reseaulibre-relays" ]
address6 = "2607:f2c0:xx:yy::1"
vars.ifaces["if wlan0"] = {
interface = "wlan0"
}
vars.ifaces["if wlan0-1"] = {
interface = "wlan0-1"
}
vars.ifaces["if wlan0-2"] = {
interface = "wlan0-2"
}
}
