Now that my ISP is imposing bandwidth caps, I need to start measuring my usage. Graphs are nice, but I've found that graphs are not really that useful to me. I need something to report what my cummalative usage is in a 30 day period. I'd like the data in some sort of ascii format, but html is ok too. I think I need something that can poll snmp stats from fxp0, which is attached to my cable modem. Something small would be preferred. I'm not interested in cacti or other large installations. My needs are very modest...I hope.
After googling for a little bit, I only found 2 apps that might work on my OpenBSD 4.3-stable firewall, vmnet and rtg. There is port or package available for either though. The output of "vmnet -m" is what I'm looking for, so I'll try that first. I was happy to see that rtg is now in current-ports, so I should be able to use it once I get my preordered CDs. If you have any suggestions, or you have a perl/python script that you would like to share, it would be appreciated.
