Work in progress
This script allows monitoring IPFire from a client by predefined queries via SSH Console on the IPFire. This requires a small connection script on the client side and the query script on the IPFire side.
This script may be used, extended and supplemented. Thanks again to ummeegge for his work!
| Homepage | execution |
|---|---|
| iftop | iftop |
| libstatgrab | saidar -c |
| bwm-ng | bwm-ng |
| htop | htop |
| tcpick | tcpick -i red0 -C |
The monitoring script was exemplarily saved on /mnt/mo_scripts/ directory. The script needs to be made executable.
This script must be stored on the client side.
filename = monstat.sh
#!/bin/bash - #### ## Fun in the joy script ## ## Open SSH session and call ipfire monitoring script ## ## ummeegge & 5p9 29.03.13, incor. IPFire #### ssh -p 222 -t root@IP-IPfire /mnt/mo_scripts/network_info.sh
You have to change the IP of IPFire and the path of the monitoring script. After depositing or creation the script must be still made executable:
chmod +x monstat.sh
Put this script on the IPFire.
filename = network_info.sh
