NAT Monitor / News: Recent posts

I am proudly announcing the release of the first beta release of NATMonitor v3.

Highlights for this version: greatly reduced memory footprint, better security (privilege dropping, limit on the number of clients) and an almost full-featured Java client.

Please post your feedbacks to the forum.

The first public alpha has just been released. Please report bugs/problems and feel free to comment on the forum.

NATMonitor3 (alpha) is on subversion, feel free to try it.

I am pleased to announce the imminent release of NATMonitor v3, with a completely rewritten codebase.

New features:
- Multiple local interfaces
- XML output
- Multi-platform Java GUI

You can find latest releases of Niki2k NATMonitor windows client in the Niki2k web page http://www.niki2k.com/
and click on "My realization"

This should solve most bugs. When natmonitor will prove to be REALLY bugfree, I will think about improvements :D
Please report any problem to the forum or to my email address

"Error: natmonitord has closed connection" problem should be solved now. There was a problem with socket read, on faster machines natmonitor graphical client asked for data too fast, so sometimes 'read' returned less bytes than expected!

"On success, the number of bytes read is returned (zero indicates end of
file), and the file position is advanced by this number. It is not an
error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested;
this may happen for example because fewer bytes are actually available
right now (maybe because we were close to end-of-file, or because we
are reading from a pipe, or from a terminal), or because read() was
interrupted by a signal."... read more

Minor bug fixes

Sorry if I will not relase any new version for a while... I'm currently working on my final thesis for my degree. NATMonitor is still supported anyway, feel free to send me any suggestion/bug report.

Now natmonitor is really multi-platform!!! Try new Windows graphical frontend (still alpha, but working really well)

NAT Monitor is a tool to monitor hosts bandwidth usage in a Linux-NAT network. A daemon collects data and clients display them (currently a GTK app with graph and a text version). It detects new hosts, saves up to 12 hours of data, and has a nice summary statistic.

From this version natmonitor exits BETA status (it is really stable now). There are also some small bug fixes and some enhancements.

The home page of the project has been redesigned.

- New tech info on the project
- New graphics and effects

NAT monitor is a program made to keep tracks of hosts bandwidth usage in a Linux-NAT network. It's composed by a daemon collecting data and some frontends to display it (a GTK stacked graph and a console text version) It autodetect new hosts and has a nice summary statistic (until past 12 hours)

Natmonitor is now split in a daemon part and some clients, so frontends can be launched from any user/network machine. Natmonitord also collect data (last 12 minutes every second and last 12 hours every minute, and they are saved when daemon quits) and send to client on request, so you can see past history.
A console version was made (making happy a lot of people)
There was alse a mayor code rewrite and bugfix.

There are GREAT news for this release:
1) NAT Monitor is splitted in a daemon part, running in background and collecting data, and some clients that can be run remotely with no root rights (currently I'm rewriting old GTK interface and writing a text based interface)
2) code was rewritten almost completely, now using dynamic data structures (much less memory comsumption), and daemon uses much less cpu time... read more

This version correct a small bug leading wrong results when a slow update was selected on a fast connection

New version gives you some mayor improvements, as a popup menu to change some settings, A LOT of bugfix, some visual enhancements
This will be LAST BETA version...
So HURRY to send bug reports/suggestions to me! :D

A linux visual utility that display in a graph internet bandwidth usage from your LAN hosts.
New version gives you some mayor improvements:
Now there are great graphical improvement (3D look, tick mark every minute, interface customization), all settings are read from a config file (no mode compile times only), code optimization (200% less cpu usage and auto settings discovery)
A really annoying bus is removed , and program is really more stable.

NEW in this version: now router total traffic is displayed (it considers also router generated traffic not only internal hosts traffic)
Please report to natmonitor forum any problem/suggestion.

A graphical monitor to keep tracks of hosts bandwidth usage in a Linux-NAT network. It autodetect hosts and has a nice summary statistic. Now critical parts are complete. Program will still remain in alpha state for a while, but seems stable and working.

Next relase will probabily have a better UI (I'm thinking about adding some menus and a prefs windows)
Download and test please, and summit me any problem/bug!

Switched to GTK 2
Will soon start to use Glade to build a better GUI
