Bandwidth monitoring
Hello all,
I'm using Squid for proxy server but in my LAN has many user download file and sometime internet connection is down. Can i monitor and control bandwidth with Squid? Or in Linux can support it ? Thank you very much |
i have never used it so all i can do is throw it out there.
snmp (Simple Network Monitoring Protocol) i'd suggest maybe looking for tools online for such a thing if none come with your linux distribution. i have never needed anything of the sort so i cant really offer any suggestions. |
I'm also looking for a monitoring system. I'm looking for a console based, so i can ssh to the box and run it.
If anyone knows of one please let us know :D:D |
use mrtg or rrdtool
|
Is there a realtime console based or webbased network monitoring system?
i hope there is, please say there is :D:D |
I use iptraf, its great if you configure it so it resolves the MAC addresses to a name you specify.
You can run it in Lan-station monitor mode to se how much each computer in your LAN is using.. |
MRTG comes bundled with RedHat and perhaps Slackware too and you can use your browser to monitor bandwidth usage.
SNMP+MRTG+Apache on Server and any browser to connect to the MRTG page. |
For a slightly more elegant and systematic approach, you could use iptables - built into any recent kernel. This allows you to keep track of bandwidth with a precision of single packets... ;)
Have a look at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/index.html if you're interested, especially Chapter 10 - IP Accounting, although the others are excellent reading material on basic networking as well. Good luck... |
more than monitor, you can manage the traffic with usefull tool named tc (a part of iproute2+tc ).
