Re: [SLUG] We need an IP accounting package
Check out bandwidthd:

Take a look at the screenshots and see if it meets
your requiremnets.

Hello :)
I am looking for an IP volume bandwidth accounting
package to track
user and/or workstation usage on a small network.
The accounting software is intended to be installed
on the firewall.
The network has the following simple architecture:

The problem is the monthly ISP download limit (20
gb) for this network
constantly gets reached before the next billing
cycle, so there is a
need to encourage people to be more responsible.
The requirements (in order of priority) are,
(1) Generate a report or summary of network volume
utiltisation to
from each workstation and/or network interface
(2) Monitor network traffic for times of peak and
off-peak activity
(plain ASCII, graphical chart or written report
(doesn't matter))
(3) If necessary, track websites or
external/internal IP connections
made from a particular workstation
I quickly browsed the info on ipac, nmap, Cacti,
MRTG and Squid the
other day and was wondering if I was on the right
track.
I think MRTG requires SNMP, but there are no such
devices on this
small network. ipac is old and the official source
doesn't support
2.4.x kernels (IPChains).
Thanks !

You can hook it into rrdtool-based things easy, or write your own. I would steer well away from ipac and derivatives if you want to keep your firewall sane. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
