Thank you for this plugin. I have a question: What would be a recommended value for critical and warning. I'm new to this and I'm a little lost.

Tank you!

I've just moified
interface=$( ip route | grep default | awk '{print $5}')
to get default interface.

Thanks I wanted a simple plugin to monitor bandwidth over nrpe. There is a tiny bug tho. If you give a wrong interface you make an OK type exit.
