Hi, I checked the archive and found ntop for preparing stats on the net- work traffic I have e.g. on my eth0. I liked the program itself, but I would rather need simpler and not so comprehensive stats; preferably would like to see a monthly stat with all of the traffic summary with not so much details. Is there a software like that existing? I also tried bandwidthd, but in the case of temporal existence of a particular interface that's quite tricky to load everytime and let it reload the previous stats from logfiles... Thank you, Pelibali

Maybe the webminstats module for Webmin? It gives nice historical overviews, not only of network traffis, but also of hardware and user-data. http://webminstats.sourceforge.net/ eddie-tools (http://www.eddie-tools.net) sends pretty stats via email. You can also cook your own recipy with snmp and mrtg http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_SNMP_and_MRTG_Made_Easy Theo -- Theo v.

Thank you for the tip! I will check it, but probably I will keep vnstat, being a candidate completely fulfilling my needs! By the way did you try the 'accounting' utility coming in the smpppd package?! It is also quite powerful and customizable. Of course that is for few interfaces only, but works flawless- ly...

If you are after just the amount of traffic for a given period have a look at vnstat, it will give you the overall incoming and outgoing traffic on a daily basis. You will find the program on the SuSE distro. The output looks like this # vnstat -d -i dsl0 dsl0 day rx | tx | total ------------------------+-------------+-------------- 29.01. 64.21 MB | 9.26 MB | 73.48 MB 30.01. 84.94 MB | 26.10 MB | 111.04 MB 31.01. 126.86 MB | 55.06 MB | 181.92 MB 01.02. 132.41 MB | 36.81 MB | 169.22 MB 02.02. 91.68 MB | 21.10 MB | 112.79 MB 03.02. 1,516 MB | 73.50 MB | 1,589 MB Just a note you have to add an entry to the crontab like below for it to operate. 0-55/5 * * * * /usr/bin/vnstat -u -i dsl0 -- Regards, Graham Smith

Thank you for this idea; it perfectly suits my needs! First I checked the software collection of my own SUSE 9.1, but than later on installed it on the SUSE 10.0 router from the original 10.0 install media, where it is really included. I set it up also to monitor modem0 and for that took two ppp-related scripts being accessible in the SUSE version only as part of the README or equivalent. The link to vnstat (in the orig. archive there is the COPYING file SUSE also just removed!): http://humdi.net/vnstat/ Kind regards, Pelibali
