A simple port traffic monitor
For Debian / Ubunut user
apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip
pip install portstat
Add the following line to /etc/rc.local to run portstat on the startup.
Notice that add it before exit 0 .
/sbin/iptables -N PORTSTAT
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -j PORTSTAT
/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -j PORTSTAT
/bin/bash /etc/portstat.rules
To upload the traffic information every minute, we should add the following line in crontab -e
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/portstat -u
Run it every 5 minutes like the following
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/portstat -u
To activate the new iptables rules, please run the /sbin/iptables command manually or issue a reboot command.
After that, you have installed portstat successfully.
Every new version I will upload it to pypi so that you can upgrade to the latest version with the following code.
pip install -U portstat
For some unexpectable reason, I can NOT promise that you can upgrade to the latest version without change your settings.
So, please come back to see what's new at every upgrade.
usage: portstat [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-v | -s | -u]
A simple port traffic monitor
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
Path of the config file.
-v, --version Show portstat version.
-s, --sync Sync the portstat settings and iptables.
-u, --upload Upload the port stat with webhook.
First of all, you should install portstat as I mentioned above.
Create a conf in where you like, by default the path is /etc/portstat.conf, just remenber use -c path to declare the config file if you don't use the default path.
The conf file should looks like that:
[imlonghao]
Port=80
Webhook=https://imlonghao.com/?imlonghao
[shadowsocks]
Port=10000-10010
Webhook=https://imlonghao.com/?shadowsocks
[test]
Port=22,111,8080
Webhook=https://imlonghao.com/?test
[name] used to distinguish every port you want to monitor.
Port=111 used to declare the port you want to monitor, it should be a int like 111 , or a range like 10000-10010, or 80,81,8080,8888 .
Webhook=https://imlonghao.com/ used to received the traffic information, portstat will post the information to the webhook like that
Then, save the config file.
Run portstat -s to create new iptables rules to monitor the port you just add.
Run portstat -u to upload to port traffic information to webhook manually.
