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.
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 Backups

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.
