I'm looking for what Smoothwall has in this image here:
http://smoothwall.org/images/promos/3.0/control_home_ethernet_profile.png

The monthly total bandwidth usage is my primary concern.

I found Traffic Monitoring using ntop, but haven't been able to find this exact output of information.

You can get to a graph page similar to what you saw in Smoothwall, by clicking on the daily graph.  To get back, there is a link at the bottom of the page.

I believe what you're talking about is Status -> Traffic Graphs page, where I can click on the per Day graph for a given interface.

https://192.168.0.1:10443/cgi-bin/graphs.cgi?graph=RED_main

However, this page does not display the monthly bandwidth usage but an overview of the rate over a several periods of time, Day, Week, Month, Year. My concern is the Total usage for the month.

It seems no one is interesting in this feature other than me? Anyone have any ideas?

For us this would be most helpful. One of our clients using 2.3 allows their staff to access the net between 1 and 2 and we have been moaned at saying that it is not working on a numbr of occasions. We can show them a days worth at the moment but when they moan that they had a problem 7 days ago it would be very useful tlo be able track this.

It looked like ntop would hold this information, but unfortunately it seems to only hold data for a very short amount of time, and is by all accounts absolutely useless for this purpose.

I've used BandwidthD before, and was considering installing it on my Endian box, but wasn't sure if it'd interfere with anything.

Hi All,
So has anyone found a solution to this?  I need to track my monthly broadband usage, and identify who.what is using it all.
If Endian cannot do it, please notify me of another software firewall which can....
(EFW 2.3 <for me>, content filter not working, no anti-virus, no broadband usage reports...I am seriously thinking of going back to IPCOP).

EDIT:
Okay looks like you will need to use SNMP, but its a pity SNMP on Endian (community) 2.3.1 does not work like it should!
I think Endian should advise that their FREE version is incomplete and buggy, if I knew I would never have switched over to Endian!
:thumbs down to Endian: 
(unless off course they do provide a proper solution, i cannot find any solution to this issue ...)

Okay,

I may have found a work-around.

I DL'd an application called Wallwatcher.exe this I run on my workstation.

You can set the Endian Router IP and your external IP (WAN) in wallwatcher.
Ensure you have remote syslog enabled on Endian, and point the remote logging to the work station running wallwatcher.
If its all working you can get usage totals for each IP in your LAN/WAN

I hope this helps someone else. (I could not get SNMP enabled on endian 2.3.1 community version so am now using the syslog instead.)
Cheers  Wink

Have you had a look at LightSquid: http://efwsupport.com/index.php?topic=1359.0

Steve does liteSquid only monitor my proxy port?

I need to watch my usage on the RED interface, can NTOP do this (NTOP analyses the GREEN interface by default) - how do you set up monitor of RED interface?
anyone?

Indeed, lightsquid only applies for proxy usage statistics. When users are configured to use endian as a default gateway statistics are not shown.

I was investigating this today and stumbled upon a  of interesting things. First is, I have managed to add a field to the graphs on the Traffic Graphs page that represent Total Incoming/Outgoing Usage for that graph.

This is close to what i'm looking for, however, not exactly. This is because the graphs show a time period relative to the current time. So, one week back may include data from the previous month. The period of the past month would only be valid at 12:00 on the first day of the month.

If you would like to add these fields anyway as they may be of value to someone edit the file /usr/local/bin/makegraphs.pl
In the sub updateifgraph, at line 420 add the following:
Code:
                "VDEF:inctotal=incoming,TOTAL",
                "VDEF:outtotal=outgoing,TOTAL",
This will define the totals for the period as vnames and allow them to be printed.
Next add the lines to print at the end of the current statement. Find the lines that look like this:
Code:
                "GPRINT:outgoing:AVERAGE:%12.3lf %sBps",
                "GPRINT:outgoing:LAST:%12.3lf %sBps\\n");
Modify them by inserting the last two lines of the following text in between the double quote and the ");" The code should look like this afterwards:
Code:
                "GPRINT:outgoing:AVERAGE:%12.3lf %sBps",
                "GPRINT:outgoing:LAST:%12.3lf %sBps\\n",
                "GPRINT:inctotal:Total Incoming\\:%12.3lf %sB\\n",
                "GPRINT:outtotal:Total Outgoing\\:%12.3lf %sB\\n");
After that run
Code:
/etc/cron.cyclic/makegraphs
This job I think is run every 5 minutes or so, but that will update the graph images that appear on the graph pages. You should see the changes that were made.

Another thing that I found was the application called ipacsum. This is installed on endian by default and allows for summing of the IP traffic through iptables.

Run the following to get the IP accounting data from previous months:
Code:
ipacsum -t "the month 1 months ago"
ipacsum -t "the month 2 months ago"
ipacsum -t "the month 3 months ago"
ipacsum -t "the month 4 months ago"

The problem with this method is the results are different from what is being displayed on the Traffic Graphs. Over the course of a year or so the numbers are different by several hundred gigs. The results are different at a week's time. I have a feeling that these methods are looking at different data, or the same data differently.
