Network bandwidth monitoring tool

Post by mister_v »

Hello,

Does anyone has a good network monitoring tool?

I especially want to see the total Bytes in/out for eth0 for a week or a month.

I checked ifconfig, but it doesn't seam to be correct?

Regards,
Chris

Hi,

ifconfig has a max of about 4Gb before it resets.

There are some other tools depending on what you need.

If you just need command tools:
ifstat -> http://gael.roualland.free.fr/ifstat/
ibmonitor -> http://ibmonitor.sourceforge.net/about.html

If you need to report to management, some tools with nicegraphs:
bandwidthd -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/bandwidthd/files/
cacti -> http://cacti.net/index.php
