Looking for simplistic network traffic logger
by Helia from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52KQT)
I am looking for a tool that will log network traffic, preferably in an easily understandable way like, say, nethogs.
What I want is to start network logging at boot time, then look at it some time later to get a comprehensive overview about which applications did what.
Unfortunately nethogs does not provide logging.
I also looked at ntopng, but it seems way too complicated for my needs, and seems to focus on real-time overview in a browser.
I also looked at various solutions on stackoverflow etc., with e.g. netstat, but again this does not seem to address logging.
In a word, the application's output would need to be simplistic enough for me to understand.
A network monitoring tool that was made with logging in mind, maybe?
