IP Traffic Monitoring

IP Traffic Monitoring allows you to record bandwidth usage. While similar to Bandwidth Monitoring, IP Traffic Monitoring divides/categorizes the data by individual LAN IP address.

IPT uses the cstats module to function.

By default, IP Traffic Monitoring is stored in: /tmp/mnt/logs/cstats .

Enable: Starts the IPT service

Save History Location:

Here, you select where historical data will be saved. Data stored in RAM (the default) will not survive a reboot.

  • RAM * (Default)
  • JFFS2
  • CIFS 1
  • CIFS 2
  • Custom Path


Save Frequency: Defines how often cstats data should be committed to the save location.

Save On Shutdown: Forces cstats to save the data file when shutting down, or rebooting.

Create New File: Initializes/Resets IP Traffic Monitoring data.

Create BackupsFIXME

\\
First Day Of The Month: Specifies which is the first day of each monthly cycle. Some people choose to change

this to match their Internet provider's billing cycle, to manage extra bandwidth costs.

Excluded IPs: Here, you manually enter the IP addresses not to be monitored by the service. The list must be comma-separated.

Included IPs: Here, you manually enter the IP addresses to be monitored by the service. The list must be comma-separated.

Enable Auto-Discovery: Checking this automatically includes new IP addresses for monitoring as soon as their traffic is detected.

Labels on graphics: Here you adjust the way data is displayed.

  • Show known hostnames and IPs: This will display both hostnames and IPs.
  • Prefer to show only hostnames otherwise show IPs: If hostnames aren't available, IP addresses will be displayed.
  • Show only IPs: This will always show only IP addresses.

Backup and Restore -

As per Bandwidth Monitoring here is where you can manually Backup and Restore your cstat data, essentially saving/restoring via your PC.
