[LARTC] /proc interface OR graphing again ?

[raptor]

hi,

I was searching in the arhives(for tcng-htb patch, still searching !!) and found a discussion about /proc interface for the ip-statistics/qos ..... is there any advance on this ?

Current practice is to install ipchains/iptables for counting the traffic and then graph the results with ip"something!" (computionaly intensive).... i probably will take the approach a separate station in promicious mode.. but availability of the counters in the /proc can streamline the things alot and give a quick way with simple scripts to handle those things...

And the idea to polling this statistics later with mrtg via net-snmp is good :")

thanx alot

PS. If anyone has the tcng-htb patch nearby, send it to me please :") thanx

I have some scripts that uses the rrdtool (that's the graping part of mrtg) to 
create graphs based on the counters in tc.  It also uses snmp to get the 
information so you can monitor on an other box.  The scripts are ugly and I 
have some snmp-related problems, but it works for me. (see docum.org on the 
gui page for an exampe).
