No one has mentioned Cacti yet? It does exactly what Bulent is looking for. http://cacti.net/ On 2/5/13 6:46 PM, Sean Greenslade wrote:

Ntop.

It does exactly what you described.

Hello I have a freebsdbox firewall . also I have some internet customers. I want to save how much data they used in a table ( such as mysql table ) for each ip address. Apache2, php5 and mysql5.5 work on the box. How can I do it ? any script or tool. Thanks

How can i save in table using ntop ? is there any document ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Read the man pages. There are sql export options that you can specify on run.

I could not see any sql options on the man file of ntop. Where is it?

Whoops, my mistake. I was reading the NetFlow documentation and going off vague memories of older versions of Ntop. Ntop saves data in RRD files. There are PHP libraries to parse this data [1]. You could theoretically scrape the RRDs and put them in a SQL DB, but they may be useful enough on their own if you can parse them correctly. (Note: I have never personally parsed RRDs manually. This info was pulled from a simple Google search. YMMV.) [1] http://www.ioncannon.net/system-administration/59/php-rrdtool-tutorial/
