[LARTC] monitoring hosts from my lan

["gregori andres" <gregoriandres@yahoo.com.ar>]

Hi,

there is a way to graph host's traffic from my lan ?

I've a linux router (2.4.x kernel), and a lan:

linux router : 192.168.1.254
host 1: 192.168.1.1
host 2: 192.168.1.2
host 3: 192.168.1.3

I'm looking for a way to graph traffic ( in / out )
from each 3 hosts, and store total traffic on a
mysql table, in order to make statistics later.

I think I can do with Mrtg, Cacti, or RRD, but I don't
know how to get total traffic data for each host. 

I also think that I can put ACCEPT rules on FORWARD
iptables chain (for each host), and later get total 
traffic data from iptables -L FORWARD -vn , but I 
think that this way is a bit hard... :-(
there is a easyer way ?

best regards

andres.
