I'm running a observium server analyzing my office devices, but I'd like to know if there's a way for observium to analyze the network traffic.

English is not my main language, so I don't know how to search this, nor if its possible. I'd like to see which ports are being used.

Example:

==Network==
HTTP: 128kb
SMTP: 25kb
FTP:  310Kb

Or something alike... Is it even called like that? Else, what's its name?

And, more importantly, can I monitor that with observium? If not, which tool can I use?

Thank you all beforehand, please excuse my errors/lack of clarity.

  • Nevermind, I kept on investigating and found out it's name was _Netflow_, and Observium doesn't support it. https://www.mail-archive.com/observium@observium.org/msg04530.html Also, I think wireshark might do the trick. – user208659 Feb 09 '14 at 00:40

Just found the following. Observium has support for nfsen, which could collect flows: http://www.observium.org/wiki/Configuration_Options#NfSen
