The software Sasacct retrieves traffic statistics from various sources such as ipchains, ipfstat, iptables, pf, Cisco IP accounting, and SNMP, enhancing networking monitoring capabilities.
Sasacct is a powerful software that allows you to fetch traffic statistics from a variety of sources including ipchains, ipfstat, iptables, pf, Cisco IP accounting, and SNMP. With external program support, you have several options for configuring your stats collection. These include Linux 2.2.x with ipchains, Linux 2.4.x with iptables, OpenBSD using Daren Reed's ipf, and OpenBSD >= 3.0 with pf.
If you choose to use SNMP, Sasacct provides two options for accounting: querying the router for byte counters for specific interface or using the 'ip accounting' feature if your router is Cisco. By doing so, you can extract the needed information about source and destination IPs and byte counters.
To display the collected information, Sasacct offers a user-friendly CGI script with username and password authentication. This script can display the data on a per-daily basis generating on-the-fly graphics with bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the software also generates static bandwidth utilization graphics on a 5-minute interval.
If you're looking for a robust software that provides comprehensive traffic statistics, Sasacct is a great tool to consider. The package includes information on how to configure the software, making it easy to get started.
