[bwm-tools-tech] Graphing Traffic

[Adam M. T. <ad...@co...>]

Thanks to all for your help in getting this up and running for me. Now I
have some technical questions involving the graphing portion. As stated
in an earlier post, I am trying to graph voip traffic over our network
to see what kind of usage we're running into. All I need is bandwidth
usage in bytes for any given time period. Nigel tells me this is
possible. I set up my config file as follows:

=20

<firewall>

  <global>

    <modules>

      <load name=3D"ip_queue"/>

    </modules>

    <class name=3D"voip_traffic">

      <address name=3D"voip_dst" proto=3D"udp" src-port=3D"10000:20000" =
/>

    </class>

  </global>

  <traffic>

    <flow name=3D"voip_traffic_out" report-timeout=3D"60">

    voip_traffic

    </flow>

  </traffic>

</firewall>

=20

Question one starts here. Is it ok for me to use the standard symbol for
specifying a range of ports like that? (10000:20000) If that's not
correct, is there another way to go about doing this? I'd rather not go
through and write an <address> for each port from 10000 to 20000. :-)

Question two is "what am I doing wrong?" because this isn't working.
"bwmd" loads, but there is no output to any log files even though I have
"report-timeout" specified. I don't want to do any sort of limiting of
this traffic; I just want to log it.

If you have any suggestions on what I can change to make this work,
they'd be very much appreciated. If I can't get bwm_tools to do what I'm
looking for, I have no other ideas on how to accomplish this. Thanks!
