ClearFoundation

Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I would like that. Basically what I want is pretty simple, or it should be.

If I setup a clients server and it advertises bandwidth management, people wanna know exactly whats going in and out of their network. Its that simple.. they dont just want browsing history logs... which is great, but not so useful.

I just want an easy to use system that records how much data is going out on http, pop3, imap and other common ports.

My clients get mailed each day from their ISP usage statistics, so its a bit hard for me to show only 100mb usage on their clearOS web browsing records when their ISP says they used 200mb that day.

I hope you understand what I mean there...

Sorry for the late reply. Here it is step by step how I installed app-jnettop:

1.) Connect to ClearOS via console (I use Putty)
2.) Have the ClearOS connected to internet.

use the following commands (without quotes):

3.) "cd /var/tmp"

4.) "wget download.clarkconnect.com/community/5.0/...orted.i386.rpm"

5.) "wget download.clarkconnect.com/community/5.0/...ed.v5.i386.rpm"

This two commands (4. & 5.) will download the packages.

Now you proceed with the install

6.) "yum install jnettop-0.13.0-1.1.unsupported.v5.i386.rpm"

7.) "yum install app-jnettop-5.0-10.unsupported.i386.rpm"

One is required for the other. I think I have writen you the correct order in which they must be installed.

Now see the instruction on page 1 from ? (the OS developer) that explaines how to edit two files so that the WebConfig is correctly displayed. It is simple. Follow instructions precisely.

use commands:

8.) "nano /var/webconfig/htdocs/menus/10-jnettop.en_US"

9.) "nano /var/webconfig/htdocs/admin/jnettop.php"

And voila! It (hopefully) works.

Hope this is precise enough so that you will not lose as much time as I did.

Regards,
Mitja

P.S.: Will look for the installation procedure for ntop...

For ntop install...this is possibly not the precise way but I have used the following commands, but I dont remember which one was THE ONE.

1.) Use Putty or whatever...
2.) "yum --enablerepo=base-extras install ntop" ?
or
"yum install ntop"

To run ntop:
3.) "service ntop start"

To access it UI:

4.) In web browser open address: http://[clearOS IP address]:3000
e.g.: 192.168.1.1:3000

to stop:

5.) "service ntop stop"

Ntop is quite resource demanding, and since I have very low hardware specs I only start it when needed.

Regards.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to get that all out for me. I basically followed all your instructions, but I wonder if I have done something wrong.... as It kinda seems to be working.. There is a menu link I can click on. The problem is that I only have a constant spinning circle displaying there. Any ideas what I could have done wrong?

I had the same problem. But I am not sure that I remember what fixed it...

Did you follow the instruction from Ben Chambers in post #4520 on page 1 of this topic?

I think it doesn't show (besides what you are describing) anything until you fix the two files manually. Also make sure that in the second file you use the actuall ">" and "<" signs and not "&gt;" or "&lt;" that is incorrectly displayed in post #4520.

Also make sure you have some actuall NIC selected. I have some _tmp3847283 or something like this also in the list. Don't know where it came from but I have not yet gotten arround to deleting it....

**FATAL_ERROR** No password for admin user - please re-run ntop in non-daemon mode first


when i run yum --enablerepo=base-extras install ntop


how can i set the admin password?

It's ok.

I did "ntop -A" and then it asked for a password to set.

Any information that you have on the jnettop installation would be greatly appreciated. I was able to get ntop working just fine but it looks like jnettop would be some what easier to use since it shows up in the web interface.
Thanks again.

Kevin,

Have a look at my post #7351 on this page (page 3). It should be what you're looking for.

hello,

I have followed the procedures on how to install jnettop and integrating it with ClearOS Web Interface, Thanks alot.

I am currently having the following issue:

eth0 = External
eth1 = Internal (192.168.0.0/24)

When I choose eth1 from the Traffic Watch to monitor with jnettop, the result is reversed.

for example: the Source/SRC Port columns are actually displaying the Destination/DST Port addresses and the Destination/DST Port columns are displaying my Source/SRC Port addresses that is my internal network.

I searched for jnettop files on my ClearOS Box to look for any configuration file to manipulate but didn't find the file that is being used to display/format the output.

I am currently using ClearOS 5.1 SP1 with all the current software updates available by this time.

Thanks,
