(Request) Looking for specific network monitoring utility


I am looking for a specific monitoring utility that has the following features.

Shows ports and what applications are using them. Shows IPs and their routing. Shows bandwidth and current network usage, graphs everything. Also this application would need a full connection history and log.

In the log i need it to show connection history by port, date, time, speed, application etc.....

I need this for security purposes.

Can be fully terminal based or http localhost base.

Let me know what recommendations you guys have.

A web search for "Linux network monitoring programs" will turn up a number of excellent articles and posts.

This might be a good one to start with: https://www.tecmint.com/linux-networ...itoring-tools/

Ya i was doing that, i will check out your link too. Most of those sites only have a small description of each tool and i was looking for one that pretty much does it all. Plus a lot of the guys on this forum are pros so i figured it would be a good place to check.

@ finalturismo:-

I suspect you'll need more than one app to cover all those bases.

Linux apps traditionally make a point a point of doing just a few things, but doing them really well.....unlike the M$ Windoze approach, which is to stuff in absolutely everything that can be thought of, including (where possible) the kitchen sink, too.

The majority of Linux networking apps are usually command-line based. Linux being Linux, and the nature of open-source Software under the GPL being what it is, there's nothing to stop you from adding, say, log-file capability to an app if it has most of your requirements, but not, perhaps, that.

I use a small networking bandwidth app called 'BitMeterOS' - perhaps slightly misleading, since it is not, in fact, an OS in its own right; that's just its name. This works via a GUI-based HTML interface, so displays in your browser; after all, that's where most folks incur the majority of their bandwidth, right?

Its developer, one Rob Dawson, really knows his stuff, and has made a point of writing small, well-crafted cross-platform utilities that just 'work'.

You may find it worth a look:-

netstat can show in use ports, IPs, and programs and the likes, but it's more of a current snapshot, than a monitoring approach.

This http://collectl.sourceforge.net/index.html is pretty well regarded and does most(?) of what you want, especially if you add the utilities module etc.
