SNMPThroughput

SNMPThroughput

Ever wanted to monitor you router throughput?
Ever used IOG but found it lacking in several areas?
Running a Windows based server?

Maybe SNMPThroughput is for you!

SNMPThroughput is a .Net based application which will graph your router throughput in a similar fashion to IOG providing daily usage logging (by hour), weekly, & monthly logging (by day), yearly logging by month and an all-time logging by year. Unlink IOG, SNMPThroughput is a standalone windows application developed in c# so sorry to all you *nix users and PERL lovers out there.

After several months of using IOG I had several problems which resulted in me loosing all of the captured data. Whilst this was partially my fault for not having a recent backup, I was unable to restore the data in a simple way and therefore lost all the data.

I finally decided I wanted more from my logging so I wrote my own (hey I was bored too!)

Monitor traffic in real time (the graphs show the throughput for the current Hour, Day, Month, Year etc and all HTML pages are updated during every run)
Optional ability to keep old data and allow you to link back and see it (I've since found out that IOG can do this but I never worked out how whilst I was using it!)...
Stores the data in an easy to view, edit & modify XML data file...
Display graphs to the width of the browser window instead of in a fixed size table.
Allow you to specify your own HTML header and footer - making it easy to add links to the top or bottom of the page.
Allow you to specify background colours and a style sheet to use in the generated HTML files.
New in version 0.9, run as a daemon. That is, once you start SNMPThroughput, it will not stop until you kill it - a bit like MRTG in daemon mode.
New in version 0.9.6, ability to distinguish between peak and off-peak data for those who's ISP has different AUP's for "peak hours"
New in version 0.9.8, ability to dynamically sort the data table (client side!)
New in version 1.1, ability to save the monthly totals in a CSV file for further analysis in Excel or similar package
New in version 2.0, Now using .Net 2.0, allowing native x64 OS support.
New in version 2.1, Fixed tooltips in FireFox. Added ability to set whole weekend as Offpeak
New in version 2.2, Added combined (sum of IN and OUT) columns to graphs.
New in version 2.3, Fixed a bug which stopped the "Minutes Between Runs" to be ignored.
New in 2.3.1, Fixed crash caused by the untested changes I made in 2.3... Doh! NOTE. 2.3.1 still reports as 2.3 on the generated HTML but the EXE file version should be 2.3.1.*
New in version 2.4, Added ability to specify the SNMP port of the device, allowig you to monitor devices with ports other than the default SNMP port of 161.
New in version 2.6: Generate summary page, Collect monthly billing period stats (for those of you who get billed and measured on a date other than the 1st of the month). More verbose logging to a file rather than the event log.
New in version 2.7: ISP Data allowance monitoring, e-mail notifications and reports. I have also fixed some bugs when offpeak hours start after midnight that several people had problems with.
New in version 2.8: Send e-mail when an error occurs, with log file attached (in some cases).
Urgent update 2.9: Fixed errors in billing code that corrupt the data file in the last month of the year (Decemeber). Sorry folks - only noticed today (01-Dec-2009) wehn my system went wrong.

I guess the best example is my own site... You can see the results here. These have been generated using my Vigor 2600 and more recently, my Billion Bipac 7402 (and now 7402R2M) ADSL router.

Download:

Download SNMPThroughput v2.9 and a basic [example] config file here (mirror) *** Read the README.TXT for installation information and full version history ***
I recommend Fire Daemon if you want to run SNMPThroughput as a system service in daemon mode.

Please note, I cannot guarantee SNMPTP’s stability or accuracy. It has got quite a lot better since the first public version 0.4 and I’m fairly confident that the results are accurate now :)
Check the readme.txt file for installation details and a brief version history.
