get bandwidth from host

I need to monitor the outgoing network bandwidth per host and store it in a database. Is there any script that receives the destiny host as a parameter and then prints only de bandwidth used to the console? I have tried iftop, ntop and none of them was easy to parse the output. Thanks for your help

Sounds like "vnstat" will do what you want.

Code:

vnstat -l -ru -i ethx

-l = live
-ru = rate unit bits/bytes
-i = self explanatory

vnstat itself stores the bandwidth usage etc in a database of its own.
