NAME
bandwidthd - Tracks usage of TCP/IP and builds html files with graphs. DESCRIPTION
BandwidthD tracks usage of TCP/IP network subnets and builds html files with graphs to display utilization. Charts are built by individual IPs, and display utilization over 2 day, 8 day, 40 day, and 400 day periods. Furthermore, each ip address's utilization can be logged out at intervals of 2.5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour or 12 hours in cdf format. HTTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, VPN, and P2P traffic are color coded. The configuration file "bandwidthd.conf" is described in it's own manual page. FILES
/usr/sbin/bandwidthd - daemon binary. /etc/init.d/bandwidthd - startscript. /etc/bandwidthd/bandwidthd.conf - configuration file. /var/run/bandwidthd.pid - main process id file. /var/lib/bandwidthd/ - log directory. /var/lib/bandwidtd/htdocs/ - html and graphs output directory. SEE ALSO

NAME
bandwidthd.conf - configuration file for bandwidthd DESCRIPTION
The file, /etc/bandwidthd/bandwidthd.conf, is read by bandwidthd when started. It contains a small set of tunable options for bandwidthd features that can be adjusted. OPTIONS
subnet <network> <netmask> Subnet to log traffic for. dev <device> Device to listen on. skip_intervals <n> Number on intervals (2.5 minute) to skip between graphing. Default 0. graph_cutoff <kilobytes-minimum> Number of kilobytes required before drawing a graph for a host. Default 1024. promiscuous <bool> Put device in promisc ("eavesdropping") mode. Default true. output_cdf <bool> Write logfiles for analyzed traffic. Default false. recover_cdf <bool> Recover from logfiles after restart. Default false. Warning: This can take very long time if the logfiles are big. Enabling this and having bandwidthd start on system start might be a bad idea. It will delay your possibilities to log in locally since it's not done in the background. filter <pcap-filter-rule> Pcap filter rule to use. Always include "ip" to avoid weird problems. Default "ip". graph <bool> Write graphs and html for analyzed traffic. Default true. meta_refresh <seconds> Number of seconds before html-page reloads. 0 to disable. Default 150. FILES
