I am looking over a procedure for graphing specific ports with MRTG using
shorewall accounting to track port usage. The problem is that it seems the
procedure that I found is meant for someone who is running shorewall on a
full blown Linux box not a Bering L.E.A.F box. I am wondering if anyone has
successfully done this on Bering? And if so, if they could point me to a
working procedure or tweak the procedure I found here
(http://www.nightbrawler.com/code/shorewall-stats/) to be workable with
Bering UClibc 2.2.2? I have a box running Debian that is connected to the
Bering box. I have MRTG and Perl installed on the Debian box. The place
where I am stumped is the "shorewall_stats.pl". My impression is that this
file should be residing on the Bering box. The problem is that my mrtg.cfg
file resides on my Debian box. Or can the shorewall_stats.pl file reside on
my Debian box and still pull what it needs from shorewall on my Bering
firewall? I am sure that others would be interested in doing this since it
would be very handy to know what ports are using what percentage of your
bandwidth.
I's been some time since I did some real perl hacking but basically you
could certainly make shorewall_stats.pl fetch its input someway or
another from a remote source. Most people are using some sort of ssh
daemon on the leaf box, which would happily copy a file to local
storage, so it probably takes just a little hack to add this to
shorewall_stats.pl
