| chesedo | good ty inetpro | 07:52 |
| Wolfeyes | Morning all | 08:35 |
| Kilos | hi wolfeyes and everyone else | 08:36 |
| Kilos | Wolfeyes: | 08:36 |
| Kilos | anyone using squid to monitor bandwidth usage please help | 08:39 |
| Wolfeyes | Does anyone have advice on what the best broadband usage monitoring program would be best on a windows network, running it from Trusty 14.04 being used as a server, but not with server software...? | 08:39 |
| Wolfeyes | bandwidth not broadband* | 08:40 |
| chesedo | Wolfeyes: does the ubuntu system act as the network server? | 11:05 |
| Wolfeyes | yes | 11:06 |
| Wolfeyes | chesedo, yes | 11:07 |
| Wolfeyes | with windows computers connecting to it, internet running in and out of the server ethernets ports | 11:08 |
| Wolfeyes | I am currently looking at squid and wondering if there is anything easier | 11:09 |
| chesedo | Wolfeyes: great, thats do-able | 11:09 |
| chesedo | squid is only a proxy | 11:09 |
| chesedo | should the monitoring be live or historical? | 11:09 |
| Wolfeyes | so the web browsers have to connect to that port that squid creates? | 11:10 |
| Wolfeyes | Both if my understanding of historical is recorded. | 11:10 |
| chesedo | Wolfeyes: yes, they have to use that port if the proxy is not transparent | 11:11 |
| chesedo | normally 3128 | 11:11 |
| chesedo | should the data be per interface or connected client? | 11:12 |
| Wolfeyes | and my understanding is if squid is tranparent then traffic will go through without any trouble, until changed to monitor traffic? | 11:12 |
| Wolfeyes | client connected I think, windows computers connecting to it... | 11:13 |
| chesedo | i have to idea how to make squid record the bandwidth used so can't help there... | 11:14 |
| chesedo | but for that look at darkstat. Most routers use it for historical bandwidth used per connected client | 11:14 |
| Wolfeyes | Okay well just recording the sites visited would be a great start. | 11:15 |
| Wolfeyes | Let me google that | 11:15 |
| chesedo | do you want a log of sites visited or bandwidth data used? | 11:15 |
| Wolfeyes | both | 11:17 |
| chesedo | Oh, squid already does the visited log... will tell where when at pc again... Was access.log iirc | 11:18 |
| chesedo | Then darkstat for data used... | 11:18 |
| Wolfeyes | busy looking at it, Iwill have to look at installing it on the weekend I htink. Thanks chesedo | 11:20 |
| Wolfeyes | Just busy gathering everything that I will need | 11:23 |
| chesedo | `tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log` for the squid log file | 11:45 |
| chesedo | although you might want to rather use some squid log analyser to get a better view of the data in that file | 11:49 |
| Wolfeyes | I saw chesedo there was mention of a program called Sarge for looking at the log file | 15:21 |
| chesedo | Wolfeyes: seems interesting | 16:49 |
| chesedo | there is also SquidAnalyzer | 16:50 |
| chesedo | well there are many choses actually on some official page on squid | 16:51 |
| Wolfeyes | I was there today chesedo been trying to read through it all, it's a lot lol | 17:12 |
| chesedo | haha, yeah I only scrolled through it :D | 17:13 |

| superfly | I might move into the bedroom after lunch | 18:14 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:15 |
| superfly | We might have a thunderstorm this afternoon, that'll cool things down. | 18:15 |
| Kilos | yip | 18:16 |
| Kilos | we freezing here | 18:16 |
| superfly | Kilos: I hope you're staying warm enough | 18:17 |
| Kilos | yes ty , coupla good duvets, and sun warms my room all morning so i spend much time with door closed to keep warmth in | 18:19 |
| Kilos | did you guys like and share taras song on FB? | 18:21 |
| Kilos | teel the mericans thats a boere meisie that cant speak afrikaans | 18:22 |
| superfly | haha | 18:22 |
| superfly | I can barely get the Americans to understand me. | 18:22 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:22 |
| Kilos | talk to them in code | 18:22 |
| superfly | "Hi, I'm looking for the tarps" "huh?" "the tarps" "huh?" "The taRRRRRRRRRRRps" "Oh! they're down that aisle" | 18:23 |
| Kilos | hahhahaa | 18:24 |
| Kilos | how are the chickens | 18:24 |
| superfly | They're also hot ;-) | 18:25 |
| superfly | But doing well. | 18:25 |
| Kilos | hee hee hee | 18:25 |
| chesedo | lol, try taaaps next time :D | 18:29 |
| chesedo | iirc the r is not as "revee" as over here | 18:30 |
| superfly | chesedo: I think they thought I was saying "tops" | 18:30 |
| chesedo | lol | 18:30 |
| superfly | because they pronounce an "o" as "aa" | 18:30 |
| superfly | I'm in rural America, I hang with the ranchers and the cowboys ;-) | 18:31 |
| Kilos | crazy | 18:31 |
| chesedo | southerners? | 18:31 |
| superfly | No, South West (which is not the same as the South) | 18:31 |
| superfly | We live just outside Willcox https://osm.org/go/TlP8Aag-- | 18:32 |
| chesedo | aak :P | 18:32 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:34 |
| superfly | Oh, by the way, I ordered one of these little guys: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Internet-Development-Wireless-Micropython/dp/B010O1G1ES/ | 18:37 |
| superfly | It gets here this afternoon. | 18:37 |
| superfly | You can either use Arduino to program it, or you can use MicroPython (which I'm planning on using) | 18:38 |
| Wolfeyes | That looks pretty cool | 18:42 |
| superfly | I'm going to hook it up to a solar charging set up (panels, charge controller, battery) and get it to automatically open and close the coop door at dawn and about 20 minutes after dusk | 18:43 |
| superfly | The most expensive parts, from my calculations, are the solar panel, charge controller, and battery. They'll come to about $60. | 18:44 |
| superfly | So that means I can set up my own automatic door for less than $100, while the ones being sold commercially are $200+ | 18:44 |
| Kilos | well done | 18:57 |
| Kilos | lucky chickens | 18:58 |
| Kilos | hi pavlushka | 18:58 |
