I tried few daemons, some of them were good, some looked good until traffic become heavy... Anyway, I'm sattisfied with ulog-acctd (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/ulog-acctd) you can configure it to your needs... it had some php script which was parsing logs and writing data in postgresql db. but there was too much info, and too much load for machine that acts as router for lot of users. it was writting one record per connection, so after 24h it was really huge table in database. so I worte some c++ crap that only counts traffic for IP addresses I want to monitor and writting them in PG database. it is writting only 1 record per monitored IP so table is small. then I wrote basic php frontend for easier administering and for users who can login and check if they are crossing their limits. well, thing is not documented at all but I could modify and update it for general use if one finds it useful. /ssbljk On Tue, 20 Apr 2004, Michael James wrote:
Help, what tools exist in SuSE to account for internet bytes in?
The byte-count from the ISP has gone berserk lately, last month downloads ran to 3 Gig, (costing me over $200 in excess) this month it's already at the limit (1.5 Gig).
