I have simply gotten buried in the many options for monitoring and graphing b/w data and just need a pointer from experienced people at solutions. I have a dedicated FreeBSD 4.10 (yeah it's old) firewall with IPFW and the appropriate counter rules installed. Each counter rule has an in and out rule for the boxes (contained in a Class-C block) that I wish to monitor. I have a dedicated monitoring box for presenting of data. Collecting every 5 mins will be the standard. I wish to have a delve-down of the following: Level 1: Summary of all traffic in/out Level 2: Summary of host in/out - these will be grouped by IP/function I use dedicated server/jails for functions (http on one, ftp one another, etc) Level 3: Detail of each individual IP I've gotten lost in the options - mrtg, rrdtool, cacti... using custom script, snmpd... the list goes on. In all my years I've never done this part myself and now I find I need to. So a pointer to a how to, recommended software, anything to help sort my out and clear the confusion would be very much appreciated.
