What about monitoring the throughput of your routers wan interface, see if it flatlines? Not sure how you would alert that though.

I have a need to know if my bandwidth has degraded. I have 3 bonded t1's and if one goes out, I have no way to know (other than walk up and look at the lights on the providers router) until people start complaining. Is there any kind of plugin for xymon that periodically will do a speed test? Thanks Paul Jordan

I do traceroutes to our remote locations and parse the output to get the network latency. I also dump the output of the traceroute in the status message. The network guys love it because they can see a traceroute without actually signing on and running one. I just set up our first remote site where I ssh to a windows machine at that location and run a tracert back to head office. Again I parse the data and get the latency and display these results also.

Do you have a server at the far end of your bonded T1s?? You could grab a file from it, something like this:

SPEED=curl -s -S -o /dev/null -w '%{speed_download}' http://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480c/SIR/inmaSIRVA_.gif <http://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480c/SIR/inmaSIRVA_.gif%60

then test the SPEED value against your maximum acceptable time and report red/green as appropriate.
