Hello LUVers
I have been experiencing an increase of about 5x factor in my outgoing network traffic for a while -at least last week - I cannot explain that change in activity,configuration etc... (It does peak to much higher level at a specific time, but I have worked out why that was so.. a overgrown backup file that was being transfered daily)
So I need to find out what that traffic is.
What is a recommended log analysers to help me quickly here? Want it to tell me how much data is being transfered by which protocol
Or any recommended procedure to identify that traffic?
Any ideas please?
Its a Ubuntu 10.04 server, running Apache, Postfix and related stuff (Spamassassin, Amavisd etc) (I had varnish on it, but I turned it off)
Cheers Daniel. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing
For a quick hit on the top ten you can try iotop package (in debian at least) .... Depends: python2.7 | python2.6, python (>= 2.6.6-7~), python (<< 2.8) Description-en: simple top-like I/O monitor iotop does for I/O usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It watches I/O usage information output by the Linux kernel and displays a table of current I/O usage by processes on the system. It is handy for answering the question "Why is the disk churning so much?". . iotop can only run under a Linux 2.6.20 or later kernel built with the CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS build config options on.
