Title: Monitoring Bandwidth use based on IP
Post by: abasel on August 10, 2010, 09:33:11 AM

My ultimate goal is to issue users with a monthly bandwidth quota (based on a username) but until I get round to trying something like Chilli Hotspot, I would simply like to log internet traffic used by a particular IP i.e. bandwidth use. What tool can I use on my SME server to achieve this?

if you are using squid (i.e. SMe is your httpd proxy), you can use Sarg (http://wiki.contribs.org/Sarg)

I checked and Proxy was enabled so I  then ran

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-sarg

as in the Contribs but I got

Quote

No package smeserver-sarg available.

Would this be because I am using "SME Server 8.0beta5"

Moving to General Discussion where it is more appropriate. Please adhere to forum rules and do not post SME Server 8 related questions in SME Server 7.x related forums. Thanks in advance.

Hi.. I'm probably a little confused but I tried the command again and it still said not package available.

Note however that that will not monitor all bandwidth used - only http/https/ftp transfers which occur via squid.

you're right

for the OP: you could take a look at ipfm (http://robert.cheramy.net/ipfm/)

NOTE: I've not tested ipfm, just found it with google right now
