Ubuntu Networking :: Bandwidth Monitor Which Performs Constant Monitoring Of The Ethernet?
Mar 15, 2010
I want a bandwidth monitor which performs constant monitoring of the ethernet. I want to see how much bandwidth I am spending by opening each website, downloading, etc. A small program which can remain "always on top".
I am using Gkrellm but the problem is it does not updates itself constantly, I mean I have to close/open its eth0 monitoring window to view changes (I am not talking about restarting Gkrellm, only the bandwidth window which shows the daily, monthly bandwidths)
I am renting a VPS from[URL].They do not supply a webhosting panel for restarting/shutting down or for seeing monthly bandwidth consumtion. I am running CentOS 5.3. I was wondering if theres any programs that you can install to view monthly/daily bandwidth consumption on our server?
Since this is my number 1 place for asking questions, I figured I would go here first. So I live in New Zealand where good internet doesn't exist yet, and I'm in a flat with 3 other people and we get 40gb a month which hasn't been lasting more than 2 weeks. It is somewhat of a mystery where all our data has gone, so I need a way to monitor usage. We use a variety of operating systems including linux, xp & windows 7 on my pc, and xbox 360. Is there any kind of integrated solution I can use to monitor everything with password protection so it can't be disabled? I have tried looking in the router, but it doesn't give me many statistics, and I think it combines lan with wan usage. At this stage I don't have the money to make a linux box to put between the router and the switch that can monitor everything, but if it comes to it, I will shell out for one.
Im looking for a program to monitor the ammount of bandwidth usage per network. Ex: I have lots of networks connected to one server, and i would like to know for example how much is the average bandwitdh usage for network 172.16.2.0/24 and 172.16.5.0/24 for one hour, for example.
I am connected with LAN. We have many computers with different OS viz.linux, windows etc. Now I want to know the bandwidth every computer is getting and using. Is there any Ubuntu packages to monitor this?
dear can someone highly gui or text base/command line tool that use as "isp bandwidth monitoring tools in linux".i do have leased line,frame relay, wireless linke,dsl too. i want to monitor what is uploading and downloading.
I have a server rack that I lease out to others. I need a way to monitor each persons bandwidth usage. How can I do this without installing software on their machines or disrupting traffic flow? I have no access to the router, as it is owned by the colo company. I do have access to the switch and firewall, as well as my machines (linux) on the rack.
I have recently purchased dedicated box for game servers, I just wanted to install bandwidth monitoring software, however I have read comments regarding it as it uses lot of CPU resources. There is another method to monitor bandwidth using iptables. But that article is too complex for me: [URL]. I just want to check my overall bandwidth not from any particular ports. Any teaching commands to do that, as my new to Fedora. I use ssh to control my server.
I have a Linux host connected via LAN to Internet. No proxy or squid is used on the host and outgoing traffic to Internet is not limited. I have several local users on this box. Recently bandwidth statistics on the switch/router showed increase in the Internet traffic from this host. How do I monitor the traffic utilization per local user on Linux host? I want to be able to monitor the amount of traffic per port and per user, like user alice downloaded 20GB today via port 22, and so on. Do not offer to use Squid, this is not just web traffic I want to monirot but all amount of incoming/outgoing traffic per user per port.
Back in school I remember using an application that would identify active IP addresses on a network, and basically show you a log of activity. We actually monitored another lab and went in and showed them what we saw (all the machines had IP addresses on the monitors.) We could see websites, bandwidth, etc.
I'm trying to find an application that would do this again. I've been trying to monitor my networks to see what machines are performing unauthorized operations. ISP is showing high bandwidth usage and there is no way checking email and browsing is using this amount, 200GB a month! Something is going on here.
I have a third party program (tightvnc) which I want to monitor and detect if it loses a connection with a client. I don't care if the client has the program open but isn't doing anything with it, I only want to know if the actual TCP connection is lost.
Since TCP takes forever to die on it's own I was thinking the best way to detect if a connection is lost is by bandwidth the bandwidth on the tcp port allocated to the VNC connection. Are there any tools built in to redhat (RHEL 5.2) which I could use to do this? Since I don't have full control of the operating system I would prefer to use built in tools rather then trying to get a new tool installed.
My problem is the following : I have a certain Internet connection for a certain network. So many people are sharing this network. What i need is a software on Linux (preferably Ubuntu) that will enable me to monitor the bandwidth usage PER IP Like : ip x.x.x.x using 20Kb upload 200Kb download , connected to this site for example.. The main goal is to know from which IP is the high Upload traffic or download traffic is coming , because i have a certain quota and I'm always getting over the quota (in upload and download) and end up paying extra for the ISP , so i would need to know who is using lots of upload/download bandwidth .
I'd like to find some sort of program which can tell me how much incoming data I've had in the last 24 hours. It goes by hours, not by days, but anything that's simple and that can display this will do. Is there any sort of program that does this? Something that would fit well with Ubuntu's style wouldn't hurt, but I'm not that worried about it as long as it does the job.
I come from a windows world where there's a magical tool called netlimiter that allows me to shape bandwidth and watch upload and download traffic: And easily check stats: I wonder if there's such a beauty for linux?
is there any way to monitor each application network bandwidth usage ?I've used gnome-system-monitor, but unfortunately it just show the total network activity
I'm using CONKY on Ubuntu 9.10, and trying to display network usage statistics for my 3G internet. I want to display something like the following:
Code:
Today--------------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb Past Week:---------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb Past Month:--------------- UP : xxxMb DOWN : xxxMb
I switched on bandwidth monitoring on my Ubuntu Server via Webmin on interface eth1. Unfortunately this has filled my disk by writing huge syslog, debug and kernel.log files. How do I switch it off? I can't see a way of doing it in Webmin.
I'm on Comcast (insert vomit sound here) and they have a 250GB monthly limit. I don't think I'm remotely close to this on a normal month and want to figure out if I could perhaps squeak by with the 5GB limit imposed by Verizon's 3G wireless broadband.
I'm ideally looking for a quick easy-to-use GUI application, rather than something that's done via the command line.
I thought perhaps I could look in my Account and find a nice "You've used X percent of 250 GB thus far" window. Then I called, but Comcast couldn't tell me. They just borked me off to some Windoze application 3rd party which I'm supposed to install.
I run Skype and occasionally download Fedora iso images and so on. Rarely am I doing more than surfing the web, chatting, and sending emails. I doubt I'm even close to 250GBs but I'm guessing that 5GB will end up being problematic.
Are there any programs that will keep track of how much bandwidth I'm using? It'd be great to have an application that runs there in the taskbar and just shows a graph of how much I've used thus far.
my isp is putting a max bandwidth in my area and I need to monitor my downloads and uploads per month. Is there anything that has a gui that is easy to set up and just shows the amount of data downloaded and uploaded per month. Also if possible to do a pop up if you set a maximum bandwidth amount.
I just wanted to use a network bandwidth usage monitoring application. Scenario: I am using an EV-DO based USB broadband modem with a limited GB plan. For additional data usage they charge per MB. Currently I use either wvdial (mostly) or pon to start the connection. So if there is any network monitoring application which could log time used and data used for the session, it would be great. Actually debian has too many different network monitoring applications, But I am not sure which one suits well for this purpose.
In one of our network we are using one firewall which works as gateway. All machines are able to access internet through this gateway. There is no filtering and any internet restriction. I would like to setup monitoring system which monitor and log bandwidth and sites access by client machine. Is there any tool which monitor internet access as well as sites which are access from client machines.
I've got an apache server running several virtual hosts. I have them separated by domain name, and they all come into the same IP address. I'm looking for a way to monitor the bandwidth that they use. The only feature that I'm really looking for is a breakdown of which domain is dishing out how much bandwidth.
blocks.com got three visitors this month. And spent 200kb in serving them. emus.net got fifteen. And spent 1mb in serving them. reverse.org got 4000. and spent 400mb in serving them.What I would like to see is a report, could be a web page could be a file. Ideally with graphs. Showing: 1. 2..... 3[400mb worth of dots]
1-blocks.com 2-emus.net 3-reverse.org
I don't need it to show me how many visitors or from where or anything like that. I am just looking for a side by side comparison of how much bandwidth each domain is using.Is there some application for this or something. Everything that I've found has been for information on a single site (awstat and friends can show me information for multiple sites, but as far as I know it won't show me information comparing them) I haven't found anything for nagios, but perhaps there is something out there for it, or a sneaky way to make a nice plugin that would do this.
I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.
I am hosting some websites and i want to monitor who is using more resources from a thoughput standpoint... Would this be bandwidth monitoring. can use to monitor these sites. I am using an uptodate version of apache2 and a single ip vhost setup.
I live in the boonies, so I have satellite internet. It's not too bad, but I'm restricted to 200 mb's of download per day.
I'm looking for an app that will keep track of my usage, so I don't go over 200. I was using "System Monitor", but it's a little buggy, so I'd like to try something else.
when the server is getting overloaded with users. At present I run the server mainly as a proxy server with about 100 users. The bandwidth at the data centre is 100Mbps connection with total bandwidth used last month = 17431.16 MB
I would like to add a VPN in future but feel that this might overload the bandwidth as instead of it just being web traffic it will the entire client TCP connections. I would like to monitor this before it gets to the stage where users are complaining but not sure how to gauge whether the proxy is being overloaded. It is used mainly for video traffic.
