Have you considered collecting the data periodically and storing it elsewhere ? AT work I collect all the traffic data with a combination (depending on what I'm collecting and how I want it displayed) of home made scripts, home made CGI scripts, Cacti - but in all cases using RRD databases http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/ Counter resets are no issue if your RRDs are setup correctly - you just lose a little data across the reading period where the reset occurred. That won't get you exact figures, but in general you aren't after that for network traffic stats. However, if you are interested in (for example) "total traffic over the last 24 hours" then it should be pretty accurate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
