Linux network interface monitoring

I recently have an issue with my network provider and I'm looking for software that would allow me to create network usage charts.

I need tool that would gather pings to given address, in/out traffic on specified interface, and put it all on some kind of a chart or csv file.

Do you know any good monitoring software that can do that.

I've already tested:

• ntop (kills the drive, bot does it's job);


• bmon (only current usage);


• iptraf-ng (only current usage);


• script that reads ipconfig and ping output (weak - very small accuracy).

Answer

Try SeaLion. You can include any more network monitoring commands and monitor its data with respect to a timeline. It doesn't give charts yet, but you can import the data into a file for sure. I use it for performance monitoring of multiple servers. No harm in trying it since its free!
