Traffic reporting tool suggestions are needed
Gents, I'm looking for a traffic reporting solution with the following basic requirements: It should provide the link between data been sent/received and the process or application generated/consumed that data Should save information gathered into txt/XML files Should be low on resources and run in daemon mode ( for data accumulation) and interactive modes Thank you.
Re: Traffic reporting tool suggestions are needed
The only one tool I know of that links the exact data communication (IP, port etc.) to processes in real time is nethogs. But it can't collect the info into logs as I see. I assume it doesn't eat much resources. It's useful to determine the processes that use the most network traffic.

Andras, thank you for the input. It's an interesting tool indeed. unfortunately i can't seem to understand why ssh session with forwarded ports is not displayed in this app. and as of right now i'm transferring a hundred MB files thru that connection... odd On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 3:07 AM, Andras Horvath wrote: > The only one tool I know of that links the exact data communication > (IP, port etc.) to processes in real time is nethogs.

Re: Traffic reporting tool suggestions are needed
correction: actually that session with forwarded ports is up in the tool. I guess i jumped to incorrect conclusions . now if i can get stats out of this tool that would be precisely what is needed.
