Options
subnet<network><netmask>
Subnet to log traffic for.
dev<device>
Device to listen on.
skip_intervals<n>
Number on intervals (2.5 minute) to skip between graphing. Default 0.
graph_cutoff<kilobytes-minimum>
Number of kilobytes required before drawing a graph for a host. Default 1024.
promiscuous<bool>
Put device in promisc ("eavesdropping") mode. Default true.
output_cdf<bool>
Write logfiles for analyzed traffic. Default false.
recover_cdf<bool>
Recover from logfiles after restart. Default false.
Warning: This can take very long time if the logfiles are big.
Enabling this and having bandwidthd start on system start might be a bad idea. It will delay your
possibilities to log in locally since it's not done in the background.
filter<pcap-filter-rule>
Pcap filter rule to use. Always include "ip" to avoid weird problems. Default "ip".
graph<bool>
Write graphs and html for analyzed traffic. Default true.
meta_refresh<seconds>
