FREEBSD 5 using MRTG to draw the packet chart

In FreeBSD use, sometimes you may need to know your host or network card packet (Packet) of the flow, to understand network traffic and network card load, to the system management personnel for reference. Here, I write my own server configuration in this way and experience, to share with you friends.

I. Installation of MRTG drawing software

Cd/usr/ports/net/mrtg

Make install can be installed successfully!

Second, configure PACKET-MRTG

I plan to put the configuration file in the/usr/local/etc directory.

Vi/usr/local/etc/packet-mrtg.cfg the contents of this document are as follows:

Target[packet]:ifinucastpkts.1&ifoutucastpkts.1:public@www.onlinecq.com

Workdir:/home/onlinecq.com/mrtg/

Maxbytes[packet]: 100000000

Options[packet]:growright,bits

Title[packet]: IP packet Count MRTG

Pagetop[packet]: IP packet Count mrtg–onlinecq.com

#Language: gb2312

Ylegend[packet]: IP packet Count

Colours[packet]: Packet in#ff6600,packet Out#006600,dark green#006600,violet#ff00ff

This,pure-ftpd will automatically include MySQL in the installation, eliminating the hassle of our integration.

Two ﹑ configuration pureftpd

When the system is installed, the relevant profile sample is automatically installed. Sample installation to/usr/local/etc

Directory, so we are also more convenient to find these configuration files.

Cd/usr/local/etc

CP Pureftpd-mysql.conf.sample pureftpd-mysql.conf

CP pure-ftpd.conf.sample Pure-ftpd.conf explains: Target is the way in which data is crawled as if it were public@community in MRTG traffic, and this is the key, because when you want to use MRTG to draw the number of packets , you need to use it to count the number of packets, so use the

Ifinucastpkts.n&ifoutucastpkts.n:community@host.domain where n means your network adapter card, if you have more than one network card, please be careful not to observe the wrong oh, otherwise there is no data out. (usually 1, but if you have more than one, it may be 2,3,4 ...) !)

Public is the SNMP default common string, and of course you can change its settings in SNMP.

Host.domain is your host name, you can also use IP, where mine is www.onlinecq.com.

Personal thought: You can try it, use it to monitor the other host's packet what will be the case? ^_^

Options: Use a standard format and let MRTG draw from right to left
