I wanted to log everything from my servers and router to a singer server to make it easier to keep up. Here are the steps I went through.

For many moons I have wanted an application like IPTraf for FreeBSD. Well through lack of trying and a certain amount of stupidity I couldn't find one. All good things come to those who wait... to stumble across things late at night. I was watching an rsync backup happen across the network while reading BSDForums and I stumbled across Slurm. It's not quite the same as IPTraf but its close enough... in fact in some ways it's easier to use.
It's missing the per port break down and the connection list that IPTraf has. But to be honest all I really want is ascii graphs :-). It is easier to use in my opinion because it just does what I want.. draws a cool graph and lets me know something is happening when I worried that I fucked something up again :shock:.

And you though this was going to be a late night rant about a fictional soft drink
