How to monitor network traffic and log it.

[Filipe Madureira]

Hello,

I recently set up an Onion Omega2 as a router and I'd love to monitor the amount of traffic going through the Onion.

I'd love to be able to ssh and read a log, or better, have a web interface showing me network statistics.

This is a good example of what i want to accomplish but couldn't manage to make it work on OnionOs: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/network_monitoring/vnstat

In your build system run:

./scripts/feeds update
./scripts/feeds install vnstat
make menuconfig

Select vnstat under the Network menu. Exit and save

make

Your vnstat can then be transferred to your device.
