Network Interface Table Service Check

Warning

Please, note that Interface Table module may be exploited by an authenticated user for accessing/executing files on the file system. When Interface Table Service Check is installed, a management network with restricted access is encouraged.

Please note that a new version which overcomes the security problems has been planned in the next releases.

Interfacetable_v3t is an addon that allows you to monitor the network interfaces of a node (e.g. router, switch, server) without knowing each interface in detail.

For additional information see the the official documentation.
