Hi all, please, tell me about security of Darkstat. Is it good idea to install it on firewall/gateway ? I'd like to measure our company traffic, but I do not have Apache running on the gateway. How could I redirect Darkstat's output to web-server inside company ? Or is there some other tool, which can measure in/out traffic and send output to another machine ? I know MRTG, but it uses SNMP I do not know to work with. Best regards, Peter Rosa

I currently use a combination of Cricket, rrdtool and net-snmp to produce these kinds of statistics for routers on an interface basis, albeit running on the same machine for expendiency (we have a very small scale setup).

Hi Peter, You can use MRTG without SNMP..., just put the values you want to graph in a file and specify the file as input file in mrtg.conf. Works for me.... Dirk Visser -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
Hi peter .,,.
MRTG have more than one method for gathering data., Please refer to
*External Monitoring Scripts* section at
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg-reference.html
Take a look at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool. It's
hard to learn but it's a great tool.
Peter, this topic is not a _security freebsd_ concern ., next time please
refer to the correct list group

Hernan Nunez
