http://natmonitor.sourceforge.net/ looks alright & is rated well enough, although I haven't used it...it only saves up to 12hrs of traffic data apparently.GTK and text frontends... their custom sf.net site is all flash,but http://natmonitor.sourceforge.net/features.html is a pretty well-done piece

Bob, I would do a search on freshmeat.net under network traffic. That should give you a nice list of scripts / applications that can do what you want. Have you tried to see if your DSL modem supports SNMP? Mike Miller On 9/15/06, Bob Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: larry price wrote: > ar

The typical thing that I have used in the past is to use some MRTG or cricket based tool for measuring the network. It is at the network level however. When I have had network problems, I have poked at the stuff in /proc and created a log and then done analysis over that. What time frame are

What is the gkrellm plugin for that (not gkrellmd but the stats-over-time)...?  I'd only seen that default-style charts which scroll past in minutes, or less than 1hr.  Also, these don't save any reports across machine restarts, do they?  (or across Xwindows restarts, eh?)     BenOn 9/16/06, Mr O <

Gkrellm it was. I can look at the last 30 days by day, the last few weeks or the last couple months. This is essentially a new box so my reports are a bit different. My monthly for August was 108.85GB received, 9.92GB sent, 118.77 total. September has been 44.20GB total so far. Sept 8 I had 32.26G

"Long term" as in, across reboots?  I was going to suggest iptables counts -- I've seen clever rules setup just for monitoring & such,but I think you'd have to hack something on to accumulate those counts every so often in case your kernel got panicky or someone pulled the plug  ;)     BenOn 9/15/0
