Monitoring traffic per user

Hi,

My boss asked me to monitor web, mail and MSN traffic *per user* to have weekly statistics.

What tool or process would you recommend me ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards

Hi,
my 2 cent:
Web statistics per user might be done by an authenticated proxy like squid and scripts.
mail statistics per user might be done by the logs of your imap/pop3 server and scripts.
MSN: i have no clue for per user logging.

For MSN you might want to look at Aimsniff. I use it for AIM but it works with MSN I think too. You will want to check your computing policies, Aimsniff grabs everything into a database. So you have complete records of all messages. I have used it at a couple of companies and I currently use it with my teens.

With the kids it is under full disclosure and only used as a check on behavior issues. They balked at first of course but they are okay with it after assuring that we would respect their privacy unless there was a real need. In the 3 years that it has been running we have only had the need a few times.

I think grepping from iptables -v will do. Separate chains for separate protocols, then you can even build some RRD graphs out of it. This is the "in-house" approach.

I've used ipfm in the past (http://robert.cheramy.net/ipfm), it works ok. It should know about pcap filters. It has some sort of html generator available somewhere too.

Cheers,
Adrian.

If by "per user" you mean "per PC", you might want to look into pmacct:
