can I see how much download a certain IP does?

taskara

I have an adsl connection shared, and squid runnning.

I can get a whole lot of info out of the logs, but what I want to know is the following (it may not be related to squid at all):

I want to see how much download a certain IP address uses over a month.

is this possible, either with squid, or some other way ?

Not really what you want, but here every pc has a static IP. Upon deactivating the network it saves information gathered from ifconfig into the logs of the server. With that info we know fi how much data has been send/received:

The easiest way would be to set up an iptables filter with that ip, and check the output of iptables -l -v monthly ... there are some packages that do this automatic (ipacct or so)

What about calamari and other squid log analyzers?
Just a thought... (I know iptables will pickup all traffic, but if you want FTP, HTTP only...)

yeah there is one called webalizer.. I'm going to check that out.

didn't know about calamari, thanks.

they basically spit out what's in the logs and make them into pretty grafs and stuff...

cheers!

You may want to try cacti and/or cricket, cacti is available as a ebuid as
net-analyzer/cacti, you should implement iptables filters to allow counting the traffic for a given ip, search around in the cacti web site for a pre made script that does the trick, a word of warning thou, i found several bugs in cacti, and the interface could be improved.!

thanks guys.

Crg, that sounds like what I am after. Can you give me an example where my router is 10.0.0.1 and the pc I want to check usage on is 10.0.0.50 ?

what would that be:

ntop -m 10.0.0.50/ ?? -i ppp0 -i eth0

hope you can clarify for me!
thanks
