ascii bandwidth report
Now that my ISP is imposing bandwidth caps, I need to start measuring my usage. Graphs are nice, but I've found that graphs are not really that useful to me. I need something to report what my cummalative usage is in a 30 day period. I'd like the data in some sort of ascii format, but html is ok too. I think I need something that can poll snmp stats from fxp0, which is attached to my cable modem. Something small would be preferred. I'm not interested in cacti or other large installations. My needs are very modest...I hope. After googling for a little bit, I only found 2 apps that might work on my OpenBSD 4.3-stable firewall, vmnet and rtg. There is port or package available for either though. The output of vmnet -m is what I'm looking for, so I'll try that first. I was happy to see that rtg is now in current-ports, so I should be able to use it once I get my preordered CDs. If you have any suggestions, or you have a perl/python script that you would like to share, it would be appreciated.
Re: ascii bandwidth report
Hi I use cacti to monitor my routers, servers and firewalls. I also build the associated report (templates) thanks to http://www.packetmischief.ca/openbsd/snmp/): interfaces and temperature. You can install cacti under Windows or under Linux. May be this can also work on OpenBsd (never test it) Regards -Message d'origine- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Joe S Envoyi : mercredi 17 septembre 2008 17:20 @ : misc@openbsd.org Objet : ascii bandwidth report Now that my ISP is imposing bandwidth caps, I need to start measuring my usage.

It gives usage breakdown by network protocol and outputs this in an HTML table. It is based on pf rule labels and pfctl output. I'll post it here when I find it. /juan

Re: ascii bandwidth report
Thanks for the comment. However I'm not looking for a graphing solution like cacti, although there is a report plugin for cacti. Cacti seems overkill. I did setup have some simple temperature and io graphs, courtesy of symon.

But it's a bit of a faff to setup, and not all that lightweight...
