I'm running 3x WRT54G and would like to monitor the router sat behind the net connection. If so, what is involved, or would I need to put additional software on the router? I'd prefer a web based stats page for simplicity, but anything will do. Want to monitor daily/weekly/monthly usage.

If so, what is involved Do you mean "Is it" not "It is" ? Any Linux-based system can tell you the number of bytes transferred over any interface, for example: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep bytes > would I need to put additional software on the router? Nope. You might want to write a three-line script or something. I tend to use crontab, here's part of the crontab on one of my firewalls: root at tornado:~ # crontab -l # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall. # (/tmp/crontab.364 installed on Thu Jul 21 10:05:48 2005) # (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $) # [snip] 39 00 * * * /bin/date >> /var/log/ifconfig.log 40 * * * * /bin/echo -n "eth0: " >> /var/log/ifconfig.log ; /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | /bin/grep bytes >> /var/log/ifconfig.log 41 * * * * /bin/echo -n "eth1: " >> /var/log/ifconfig.log ; /sbin/ifconfig eth1 | /bin/grep bytes >> /var/log/ifconfig.log 42 * * * * /bin/echo -n "wlan0: " >> /var/log/ifconfig.log ; /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | /bin/grep bytes >> /var/log/ifconfig.log 00,15,30,45 * * * * export TERM=xterm; /usr/bin/top -b -n1 >>/var/log/top.log As you can see, every hour I log the bytes transferred by each of the three interfaces. > I'd prefer a web based stats page for simplicity, Simplicity?! > but anything will do. Then write a file, dump it now and again to some place convenient and use gnuplot or whatever to plot a graph. You can script it in a few minutes. :) > Want to monitor daily/weekly/monthly usage. See http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/radio/bandwidth.gif for an example of bandwidth usage by an (anonymous) client of ours. That graph is for the processor load using 'top, but you get the idea. Contact me off-list if you need more information. 73, Ged.
