Easily Logging / Reviewing input errors from multiple routers

Easily Logging / Reviewing input errors from multiple routers open original image

I have multiple routers on which I need to monitor the "increase" of input errors on a particular interface. For example, If I had 100 input errors between, 5/8 and 5/9, I want to know that I had an additional



200 between 5/9 and 5/10. Seeing the "total" input errors does not help me in my situation.

Is there an easy way to centrally monitor these input errors other than logging into each router, doing a show int and then pasting the input errors into an excel file and then running a formula to get the "increase" of input errors (which I am currently doing)?



I would like this automated method to be able to capture the information at least a couple times per day if not every hour.



Any assistance you can offer is appreciated,



Thanks, Admin

Or if you 're willing to pay for net mon software then try with SolarWinds Orion Express. I used it before and it shows errors, buffer misses, etc. You can download trial from:

Sorry, I wrote this solarwinds sw name incorrectly. The correct name is "Orion Network Performance Monitor" actually.

MRTG is grand-daddy of them all. It's also the easiest to use.
