Hi Graham, On Tue, May 14, 2002 at 04:18:15PM +0100, Graham Lillico wrote: > Does anyone know of a traffic monitoring tool similar to Linux's ipacsum > that is compatiable with IPF? I made some scripts based on rrd tool maybe you can change them to acquire the appropiate values from ipfstat. See http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel/Projects for some starting points, nothing fancy, just some handy shell scripts. You can take the NetTraf script, which is very simplistic and change the updte section to make it use ipf, and implement other neat graph things. Actually, rrdtool is quite simple to use, and might IMHO do the job best, since you have _total_ control about what you want to display in your graphs. > > As I would like to monitor the traffic going in and out of my firewall's > interfaces.

RRDTool is a bit smaller then MRTG, see my NetTraf script to do just this. It's very small and only depends on snmp/rrdtool. If that's to much, you can easy hack out the snmpget part and replace it with a shell script which parses the output of e.g. ifconfig to get the values. Anyway, it's running fine for me. > > Regards > > Grez.. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message Gr, -- Axel Scheepers UNIX System Administrator email: axel@axel.truedestiny.net a.scheepers@iae.nl http://axel.truedestiny.net/~axel ------------------------------------------ There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again. -- Clint Eastwood ------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
