viking777 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 As I have said elsewhere, I think drakconnect is a brilliant piece of software. Of particular interest to me as a frequent user of capped internet services with high charges for exceeding the cap, one of the most useful features it has is the Network Monitoring service with which I can keep an eye on how much data I am using. What I would like to know though is does drakconnect keep a log of past connections and amount of data transferred, or is all the information lost when you shut down? If it does have a log, then where is it? If it does not keep a log by default, is there a way to turn this functionality on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 You could install SNMP and use MRTG on your laptop. I've got this running on a server of mine monitoring connections on a firewall as well as the performance of the server in terms of CPU utilisation, memory and network link. It might provide what you need. Does require a bit of configuration though to get it to work. Unfortunately, I don't believe drakconnect will do this for you at least for historical data.

viking777 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Thanks Ian. Being a wimp I will probably just have to keep an eye on it manually (pencil and paper - remember those :lol: ), your solution sounds a bit to deep for me!

ianw1974 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I set it up the other day, it wasn't too bad so if you decide to try it, I can provide a rough sample of config since I did it on Gentoo and not Mandriva, but it should work more or less the same.
