-  * Download the [[http://exchange.nagios.org/components/com_mtree/attachment.php?link_id=473&cf_id=30|check_netio_1.1]] to /usr/local/bin and test it. You will have to change paths, like this: [[:blogfiles:check_netio_1.1_debian]] Copy this file to all your servers that you check by ssh.

+To enable netio checking for a given host, add the entry ''netio-servers'' to the ''hostgroups'' of the ''host'' entry.
+Restart nagios using ''/etc/init.d/nagios3 restart'' to make sure everything works. Nagios should check the NETIO service.
+To enable nagiosgrapher display for the netio plugin copy the file [[:blogfiles:check_netio_1.1_debian]] to ''/etc/nagiosgrapher/ngraph.d/extra/netio.ncfg''
+Restart nagiosgrapher and control ''/var/log/nagiosgrapher/ngraph.log''. For every host where you enable netio checking, you should see the information that the config has been added.
+Note:
+  * If you run a bastille hardened server, the plugin call by ssh may fail because ifconfig can't be executed. Test it using
+''/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_by_ssh -H newton.ksk.ch -C '/usr/local/bin/check_netio_1.1 -i eth0'''
