Indeed. I'm a Debian user, so it only took a minute to get the agent running which I appreciated a lot.

It seems like the only piece missing is graphing and alerting on bandwidth usage with the agent. Linode provides a nice set of hypervisor-level views of IO/CPU/Bandwidth but they're really only useful historically and from a billing perspective. On second thought, this sounds like an awesome way to get familiar with the plugin interface ;)

There's a bandwidth check type. Click on the monitor tab, then click on new monitor, then select Bandwidth in the check type drop-down.

We don't support alerting on bandwidth usage yet, but that check will alert if the interface is down.
