So we’re pulling in our firewalls into checkmk. Our WAN interface reports in checkmk as 1Gbps. Which technically it is. But any bandwidth calculations in terms of interface usage is going to be based on ~1000mbps.
However, our internet circuit in the datacenter is only 200mbps. We’d like to adjust checkmk to think this interface is only 200mbps so when we’re using 100mb the interface would report being 50% utilized.
How would I go about adjusting this for just 1 port on 1 device? Please break it down as I’m very new to Checkmk’s interface.
easy, I think. Go to the interface where you want to change the speed, open the action menu (three lines beside the interface) and click on Parameters for this service
Under Check origin and parameters click on Network interfaces and switch ports click on Add rule for current host and port this will create a new interface rule. Under Conditions → Explicit hosts should show up your host and Port should contain the interface you want to change the speed for i.e.
when you look at the interface it shows up as MB/s. (megabytes per second). Why?
Granted, yes, technically 200Mb/sec is 25MB/sec, but if everything is showing you bits, why all of a sudden is the GUI using MB/sec ?
