Traffic monitoring alternatives

gosssamer · 06-02-2014, 10:33 PM

Hi all, I was hoping to use iptraf-ng, as shipped with fedora20, but the filters don't appear to work properly and it's not documented very well.

Do you have any suggestions for a traffic monitor other than iptraf-ng? I've also used ntop, but I'd really like an ncurses-based program or something that can be run on a remote machine more easily than having to set up a whole web server, etc.

Something like dstat for networks, with detailed monitoring capabilites and filtering, would be ideal.

Thanks,
Alex

This is pretty good, and as mentioned at the top it may be available as an rpm
http://collectl.sourceforge.net/

(Generally a mention tends to also attract the attention of the author

Maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-f...ing-bandwidth/ or https://github.com/nicolargo/glances

Thanks. These are helpful, but none are as good as iptraf-ng. I'd settle for the old iptraf if the filters worked :-(
