Hi all Time for a two-penneth, Postgres is great, use it in a commercial env works excellent. But for small functional goodie could be a bit of an overkill...? For knocking up quick web-content I have foudn Zope (www.zope.org) to be nothing short of Brilliant. Can speak to DB, execute perl, python other CGI, has user based security model, runs staight out of the box. gotta say I love it....... Regards Earl (Released under the Zope Public Liscence - bit like LGPL as far as I can tell.....but it is free as in beer if not as in speech anyway..)

I agree with Brett. He has a good point.
If we want to showcase the best of free software and what linux can do, let's use Postgres eh? Postgres is a true ACID relational database, stable, secure, full-featured and with extensive support for SQL92. MySQL, um, isn't.
Thoughts on what language to implement this in... Perl + DBI is nice and quick, Java is a little much for the initial site but might be a nice project for someone to add later. Ruby is always being mentioned to me but I have no idea if it has DBI-like features or not. Then there's the evils of the world such as PHP, Embperl, ASP.... can we steer clear of these?
Anyway, enough with the random thoughts. Happy to help or advise if anyone wants.
Andrew.

It's a pity you haven't access to the Cisco (I assme the router is Cisco?) There's a nice command called "ip accounting". It will give you a table of IP addresses and how much traffic they have sent.
I occasionally use this with an Expect script to drag back a set of network stats on a particular router.
There are a number of non-intrusive methods too. We have some network probes that tap into the leased line and monitor it externally. A more expensive way of doing it though!
Oh well just my 2 pence....

Subject: Re: [Alug] IP Traffic monitoring
Hmm. That's where I was heading. The extract of the numbers is trivial and would give me 99% of their traffic.
I'll try to knock something up in Perl that whacks the data into a MySQL database directly. Could be an interesting project.
Cheers.

It's in the Apache access log. Everything that is sent and how big it is.
Not perfect; it does not include the overhead of setting up connections, but it is a start.

Hi everyone.
We are about to put a website online for an important customer but we want to monitor the bandwidth usage on a monthly basis and bill them accordingly.
Has anyone any ideas on how to do IP Traffic monitoring? We don't have access to the stats on our primary router (basically our upstream won't give us the data for some reason) so I just wanted to put some kind of packet counter in..
Any ideas or package recommendations? I've looked at sourceforge but am
not
sure of the products I'm finding there. I want a standalone product that doesn't look like a beast to install and dumps the data in a nice format for sticking into a database.
Cheers.

Calling Perl nice is not something I can bring myself to do any more. OK, it's possible to do some really well-crafted software in it, but it's possible to create some monstrosities too and more people do the latter.
[...] Ruby is always being mentioned to me but I have no idea if it has DBI-like features or not.
That'll be me, then. With Ruby, it's not quite so critical, as you just tweak your database object class. Even Perl's DBI isn't a perfect solution, because the SQLs don't seem to quite be the same.
[...] Then there's the evils of the world such as PHP, Embperl, ASP.... can we steer clear of these?
Please! While I can't call Perl nice, I won't program in PHP any more beyond simple tasks because of the mental anguish it causes.

Yes, it may be evil, but the darker side is very appealing. Just like small talk seams appeally. A OO language where everything is an object, it just makes sense, the way the world works is to pass messages (instructions, sentences etc...) between objects (humans, animals, objects etc...)
ONe language I don't want to learn is C++.
I like the quotes on the smalltalk website
"I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind."
- Alan Kay
and my personally favourites
"C++ : an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog"
- unknown
"Claiming Java is easier than C++ is like saying that K2 is shorter than Everest."
- Larry O'Brien (editor, Software Development)
I Am amazed that there is such a holy war about programming languages, particully the language people first learnt was there favourite and all others are programmed as if they were using the first language.

Hrm, I can't remember where I learnt about it. Probably from webreference.com or similar. It's just like HTML but with consistency and your own tags, really.
I Am amazed that there is such a holy war about programming languages, particully the language people first learnt was there favourite and all others are programmed as if they were using the first language.
Depending on your world-view and the task at hand, I now firmly believe that either everything is objects or everything is functions. This is miles away from my first language (BASIC) or my second (FORTH), but I tend to watch people and I've seen things that would make your toes curl. I guess others on this list will have seen worse, though.
I don't really get into holy wars about language, though. I just try to avoid engaging with ones I dislike unless absolutely necessary. I have that luxury at the moment. -- MJR
