This one is on Monitoring the internet access of the church network.

Join in!

Monitoring your Church’s internet usage internally

Currently I am mirroring the outbound port of the last switch on our network and sending all of that data to a machine with two NICs. One simply gulps on the network firehose and the other allows me to RDP in.

I monitor the traffic with WireShark using the statistic options with IPv4 conversations, I/O, and HTTP requests.

There has got to be a better way to have ongoing monitoring on a tight budget.

Any questions or suggestions?

This is a wave asking questions about Open-Mesh.

I am using the Wavr Plugin for Wordpress to embed the wave, but you can go directly to it here: The Open-Mesh Wave.
