Sensu plugin to get metrics on the bandwidth usage. It is reading the output of ifstat.
apt-get install ifstat or yum install ifstat
Please be sure you have the right version of ifstat with the output formatted like this:
eth0
KB/s in KB/s out
40.09 81.06
38.23 62.96
...
Put that script into the folder /etc/sensu/plugins/ or any folder registered in the PATH.
To add it into your checks/metrics configuration add that JSON:
"metric_bandwidth": {
"type": "metric",
"command": "metrics-bandwidth-usage.rb",
"handlers": [ "metrics" ],
"interval": 60,
