Bandwith monitoring

dlugasx · 02-11-2009, 08:12 AM

Hi everyone,

do You know any good software for bandwith monitoring ?
I need a console software. Something which can collect data and export to html or excel tables. Unfortunately for security reasons I cant use software which generate html pages.

The best will be soft which can collect information every few seconds to the text file.

cheers

Do You know any software which I can install directly from CentOS or Fedora repository ?

well if you see something in the list that interest you.. I'm sure it would be simple to check if it's in the repository, no ?

Debian allows us to search the repository, so I would think yum would have similar capabilities..
for instance

Code:

it-lenny:~$ aptitude search iptraf
p   iptraf                 - Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor

so how does yum search ? yum search <packagename>

Now you have to decide if anything in the list looks of tools looks like it will fit your needs, then check if it's available in your repositories..
