Re: Simple Network Traffic script
mrtg is to collect and graph statistics from local and remote hosts...we use it for network info on switches, etc. Which means that I can ultimately get that info if I go find the switch port its on, and jump through some other hoops. I just want a command line script that shows me how much bandwidth is being sent and received in the last x seconds... Kind of like top for network bandwidth. it can't be that hard... t Josh Paetzel wrote: On Friday 12 November 2004 20:56, Tim Traver wrote: Hi all, ok, this may be a dumb question, but does anyone know where I can find a simple script that shows the network traffic to and from your local box ? using netstat -i 5, can see the traffic over 5 seconds, but then I need to do a bunch of calculations to try and get a reasonable number.

If you are running 5.3-RELEASE there is systat # systat -ifstat systat exists in 4.x releases but I don't believe it has the -ifstat option. It's only realtime - if you want long-term logging I would suggest either mrtg or better, cacti + rrdtool which is much easier (IMO) to setup (www.raxnet.net) and gives you the flexibility to monitor just about anything.

If you're not looking for traffic counts over 5-second periods, what exactly are you looking for? trafshow is nice for quickly determining who is eating your bandwidth, if that's your intent. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
