This article introduces what the Linux system network monitoring tools are, the content is very detailed, interested friends can refer to, I hope it can be helpful to you.

System administrators usually use some network monitoring tools to prevent any program from overusing the network, causing the whole system and operation to slow down. This article shares the Linux system network monitoring tools with you.

Iftop

Iftop network monitoring tool

Linux users are usually familiar with top-a system monitoring tool that allows us to know the processes that are running in real time on our system and can easily manage them. Iftop is similar to top applications, but it specifically monitors the network, through which you can learn more about the network and all the processes that use it.

Vnstat

Vnstat network monitoring tool

Vnstat is a network monitoring tool that is included by default in most Linux distributions. It allows us to control the traffic sent and received in a time period selected by the user in real time.

Iptraf

Iptraf monitoring tool for linux

IPTraf is a console-based Linux real-time network monitor. It collects a variety of information across the network as an IP traffic monitor, including TCP flag information, ICMP details, TCP / UDP traffic failures, TCP connection packets, and byte counting. It also collects details of all TCP, UDP, IP and non-IP protocol ICMP checksum errors, interface activity, and so on, on the interface.

Monitorix-system and network monitoring

Monitorix system monitoring tool for linux

Monitorix is a lightweight free application designed to monitor the system and network resources of as many Linux / Unix servers as possible. It adds a HTTP web server that collects system and network information on a regular basis and displays them in a chart. It tracks average system load, memory allocation, disk health, system services, network ports, mail statistics (Sendmail, Postfix, Dovecot, etc.), MySQL statistics, and more. It is designed to manage the overall performance of the system and to help detect failures, bottlenecks, abnormal activities, and so on.

Dstat

Dstat network monitoring tool

This monitor is less well known than the previous ones, but it is included by default in some distributions.

Bwm-ng

Bwm-ng monitoring tool

This is one of the most simplified tools. It allows you to interactively retrieve data from a connection, and to facilitate the use of other devices, you can export the data in certain formats while getting it.

Ibmonitor

Ibmonitor tool for linux

Similar to the one above, it shows the filtered network traffic on the connection interface and explicitly distinguishes the received traffic from the transmitted traffic.

Htop-Linux process tracking

Htop linux processes monitoring tool

Htop is a more advanced, interactive, real-time Linux process tracking tool. It is similar to Linux's top command, but has some more advanced features, such as an easier-to-use process management interface, keyboard shortcuts, horizontal and vertical process views, and more. Htop is a third-party tool, it is not included in the Linux system, you must use YUM or APT-GET or other package management tools to install it. For more information about installing it, read this article.

Arpwatch-Ethernet activity Monitor

Arpwatch ethernet monitoring tool

Arpwatch is an address resolver designed to manage Ethernet communications in Linux networks. It continuously monitors Ethernet traffic and records changes in IP and MAC addresses in a network, which also records a timestamp. It also has a function to send an email to the system administrator when a pair of IP and MAC addresses are added or changed. This feature is very useful when an ARP attack occurs in a network.

Wireshark-Network Monitoring tool

Wireshark network monitoring tool

Wireshark is a free application that allows you to capture and view information going to and from your system. It can drill down into packets and view the contents of each package-to meet your different needs. It is generally used to study protocol issues and to create and test special cases of programs. This open source parser is a recognized commercial standard for parsers, and its popularity is due to its long reputation.

Originally called Ethereal,Wireshark, it has a lightweight, easy-to-understand interface that classifies and displays protocol information from different real systems.

What are the versions of Linux? the versions of Linux are Deepin, UbuntuKylin, Manjaro, LinuxMint, Ubuntu and so on. Among them, Deepin is one of the best-developed Linux distributions in China; UbuntuKylin is a derivative release based on Ubuntu; Manjaro is a Linux release based on Arch; LinuxMint's default Cinnamon desktop is similar to Windows XP's easy-to-use; Ubuntu is the Linux operating system based on desktop applications.

About the Linux system network monitoring tools to share here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
