Computer NIC card monitoring traffic question
Folks;
I have 2 NIC cards on my SUSE Linux server. One of them was reporting receive errors for a while now it's OK, but i'd like to monitor it.

Is there any command i can run to tell me the usage in the past or give me a history of traffic and the speed that going on this specific card?

I need to get details from this NIC card so i can see how is it behaving.
i use ifconfig eth0 but this only give me the total packets, errors, etc with noth from the past

Also; Is there any command to tell me bandwidth usage on that card?

Thanks in advance

The sysstat suite of tools will give you historical info you need, including data transferred and errors. You would use sar to get reports of the data collected. If you want graphs of historical throughput for a visual, look into mrtg.
