# NeTraf
Linux utility for monitoring Bandwidth usage for TCP/UDP connections by process name.
## Description
NeTraf is a linux application that helps you monitor the bandwidth consumption of a specific process.
NeTraf is written in **C#** on **.Net-Core** and uses the following linux utilities : **[Netstat](http://netstat.net/)**, **[IPTraf](http://iptraf.seul.org/)** and **[Gnuplot](http://www.gnuplot.info/)**.
## Prerequisites
Make sur you have the following tools installed before running **NeTraf** :
1. *Netstat* : this utility comes installed on some linux distributions. To install it (Debian/Ubuntu) : `# apt-get install net-tools`.
2. *IPTraf* : Download and install this utility from [here](ftp://iptraf.seul.org/pub/iptraf/iptraf-3.0.0.bin.i386.tar.gz), then follow these steps to install it:
I. Decompress the .tar.gz file by entering `tar zxvf iptraf-x.y.z.tar.gz`.
II. If your tar doesn't support the z option, you can separately decompress the tar.gz then extract the resulting .tar archive.
`gunzip iptraf-x.y.z.tar.gz`
`tar xvf iptraf-x.y.z.tar`
III. This will decompress the sources into a directory called iptraf-x.y.z.
IV. x.y.z here should be the IPTraf version number you're installing, like 3.0.0.
V. Change to the src directory. It already contains ready-to-run distribution binaries for IPTraf and the accompanying rvnamed daemon.
VI. To install the software, enter : `make install`.
while you are logged in as "root". This will install the distribution binary in the /usr/local/bin directory. The necessary working directory /var/local/iptraf will also be created.
VII. Configure IPTraf correctly :
a. Enable Logging : IPTraf > Configuration > Logging > On.
b. Configure log interval : IPTraf > Configuration > Timers > Logging Interval > 1 mins
3. *GnuPlot* : `apt-get install gnuplot-qt`.
4. *.Net Core* : Get .Net Core and the toolings [here](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxubuntu).
## Compilation and running
1. Download the project [here](https://github.com/AymenDaoudi/NeTraf/archive/master.zip).
2. Navigate to the project's location `../NeTraf`.
3. Enter `dotnet restore` to restore the Nuget dependencies.
4. Enter `dotnet run` + args :
i. 1st argument : **Network interface name**.
ii. 2nd argument : **Process name**.
iii. 3rd argument : **Monitoring interval** (in minutes).
iv. 4th argument : **Output directory**.
v. Example : `dotnet run ens33 skype 15 ../Desktop/OutputResult`.
i. 1st argument : **Network interface name**.
ii. 2nd argument : **Process name**.
iii. 3rd argument : **Monitoring interval** (in minutes).
iv. 4th argument : **Output directory**.
v. Example : `dotnet run ens33 skype 15 ../Desktop/OutputResult`.
## Results
Once the profiling is finished, navigate to the output file you precised in the beginning, there you'll find tow directories :
1. RawOutput files : these contain csv formatted output files describing the input/output bytes, packets and rate.
2. GraphicalOutput files : contain plots describing the input/output bytes, packets and rate, like follows :
