Trying to do a favour for someone so the tools I usualluy have at my disposal are unavailable...
I would like to monitor bandwidth broken down by protocol (HTTP/SMTP etc) on a Windows Server (NT I believe - but tbc ) . I do not have access to the LAN or Router beyoned this box so solution needs to be server based. I've found various tools which enable me to monitor anything I can get in perfmon via SNMP and hence graph it (MRTG or RRD probably). But... can I get the stats I need from Perfmon ? Is there an alternative ? Data Analysis needs to be remote from the server in question. Any solution has to be genuinely free. No "shareware" or "Trial copies" ;). Bloody servers - give me a router any day. Ta. Deano [Edited by dsmith - 11/07/2003 15:14:44] |

Dont think you can... :( The perfmon stats are good, but I dont think they go that granular. I have the same problem at a site I'm working at. I'm currently thinking about trying to build an in-line (L2) snort box to try (free) an make a free version of 'packeteer' but you know how obsternate bl00dy linux apps can be ;) Ill have a dig still... you never know Edited to say.... No go by the looks, however remember if for instance it was running IIS you can look at FTP and HTTP bytes passed in/out - same for RAS, .Net CLR etc Ids [Edited by ids - 11/07/2003 17:24:09] |
Unfortunately its a firewall so not generating the traffic itself. I'd like to be able to show how much of the I/Net pipe is being used by browsing/mail/remote access etc.

What Firewall is it ?

FW-1 - Certainly not NG, posibbly 4.1, but probably earlier (on NT).
