here is what I need. The ability to monitor network traffic on a per port basis. A graph of some kind would be great, but even a percentage of total lan usage would be fine.

The only thing is I need to be able to customize the ports.

IE

9040 : 2%
9041 : 10%
9042 : 50%
9043 : 38%

Or even the kb/s per port would be fine.

Anyone know of a program that can monitor bandwidth this granular?
 
mrtg? or if you don't do linux then i think there is a win32 equivalent called prtg?
 
With the xRTG's you still depend on the SNMP deamon to monitor traffic, and most of them do it on a per interface level. Per port takes a lot of power and home routers definatly won't have them.

Dunno about moon wall etc though.
 
If your Device is SNMP ready (almost every managed network device) i would recommend MRTG like "atmoiser" said...

Its easy to set up if youre familiar with textfile based configigurations and html (only for the layout)...

I use MRTG to monitore a gameserver...

For things like RAM and CPU you need to know OID numbers. Use a "SNMP Walk" tool to find the right values...
 
sorry, this is not on a router. I should have been more clear.

This would be on the actual server which is running "server 2003"

I would like to monitor certain ports for incoming traffic on the server.
 
SNMP still works. All you have to do is install the SNMP service and you should be able to configure many of the monitoring systems to monitor the transmit and received bytes or packets.
 
My Server is running on "Windows 2003 Server"... There are also 2 ethernet interfaces. Im monitoring one, because the other one is for admin use.
Its absoultly no problem to monitore the ports with MRTG. Just enable SNMP on your machine and find the right OID for the ports (MIB Browser will help) MIB Browser

mib browser, seems to require the professional version to track ports.
 
All you need to do is find out which MIB it is and then use something like MRTG to do the actual tracking/graphing
 
I can't get the damn program to work. I've configured SNMP, and am trying to get the initial config file created, but nothing seems to be working.

I also love their troubleshooting. You can tell this is a linux oriented program.

If you get an error message complaining about no such name or no response, your community name is probably wrong.
