Dear Experts,

I hae installed linux box a Gateway with SQUID & SARG. Through SARG i can monitor port 80 traffic but how can i monitor the traffic of gateway other then 80 port. Is there any tool that can run with apache like SARG to monitor gateway traffic

Regards

I'm not entirely sure what kind of monitoring you're looking for. If it's security, have you looked at SNORT (a Network IDS). If just bandwidth, there's mrtg.

Hi

If what you want to achieve is 'traffic monitoring', ie how many packets went past, then you cant go past MRTG (MultiRouter Traffic Grapher), which can keep up to date graphs of all sorts of traffic updated and available at intervals as short or long as you like.

If you want the details .. which packets came from whicjh IP address etc, the easiest is just IPTables, it has counters for everything you specify, and you can spool the count data out to MRTG as well.

SNORT is a security management package, and is for detecting intrusion attempts. Use SATAN to test/harden your system, and SNORT to watch what happens. I set it up originally, but gave it away as 'too much'.

What are you trying to do?

i used a iptraf...

i think it's same like mrtg

can monitoring traffic but the different is MRTG can view a traffic by graphical mode. different things like iptraf

which work with counter and a lot of numbers
