[itdiscuss] Monitor or track web traffic with Centos

[Gary Nichols]

Matt,



If by monitor/track you mean see what websites are visited and block sites based on content filtering, then Barracuda has an excellent product for this (and more)...

The Barracuda Web Filter is an integrated content filtering, application blocking, and spyware protection solution that is powerful, easy to use, and affordable for businesses of all sizes. It enforces Internet usage policy by blocking access to Web sites and Internet applications that are not related to business, and it easily and completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware from your organization. No more productivity loss trying to repair computers or make computers usable again.

Another good product for monitoring and tracking network usage is the Cymphonix Network composer (http://www.cymphonix.com/).  It also provides bandwidth shaping and content filtering.

Is there a tool that will allow me to monitor/track my users web traffic out of our network?  I would like it to work kind of the same way that Ntop and Cacti works with a nice web interface if at all possible.  Anyone got any suggest?



thanks

Matt Finn
