Cacti & IPTables
July 21, 2007 | 9:25 amI came across a few more ideas mostly by accident on how to track bandwidth from my router. One of the issues I’ve had with my home network is that while I can monitor devices (such as my PowerConnet 2716 & Linksys router) - I don’t get visibility into my virtual devices or devices being secondary routers (like in my Media Lounge). They all come lumped together. Wel - now I’m a little bit closer to seeing what’s going on by using IPTables on my Tomato-based Linksys. With a few more scripts added and some more templates - I’m now able to see Internet usage for any of the devices on my network.
This is probably the best I’m going to get for a while - as I’m not going to be able to monitor those devices on my LAN unless they all tie back to a port on my router.
I suppose I do need to start getting some of these scripts available at some time…
Enjoy!
