I'm searching for a network traffic monitoring tool which supports to
report total numbers, like absolute mbytes/gbytes of ingoing/outgoing
traffic per week/month. The tools i've tested so far (munin, mrtg)
seem to support only relative numbers like curent, maximal, minmal
and average bytes per second.
I also gave darkstat a try, and this one indeed counts the total
transfered bytes splitted by in/out, but it doesn't show daily, weekly
or monthly values. Additionally its graphs are not very informative.
As I already use munin for host monitoring, I would be glad to hear that
mrtg or some munin plugin supports the kind of statistics I'm searching
for. But so far I failed to find something appropriate.
greetings,
jonas

Have you tried vnstat? It will give daily/weekly/monthly totals of
incoming/outgoing traffic by interface (i.e. eth0, eth1). Basic info
and download (if not in Debian repository) found here:
http://humdi.net/vnstat/.

Hey Travis,
Thanks a lot, vmstat indeed is exactly what I was searching for.
Especially in conjunction with vmstati and vmstat.cgi or the vmstat php
frontend.
greetings,

I'll have to look into those other pieces - I've only ever used the
base vnstat to track stuff, but I see some things have been added. I'm
glad it works for you.
