Graphing the number of connections per machine IP

[Alexi102000]

Hello, I have done a lot of searching, but there does not seem to be anything out there that I could potentially utilize. I would like to somehow graph the number of connections hitting a server and break it down by machine IP. For example, on Linux system, running:

Code: Select all

# netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Gives the following output:

Code: Select all

      4 10.1.84.105
      4 10.1.89.136
      6 10.0.100.126
     48 10.0.100.70

Is it possible to make a single graph that displays the number of connections for each IP address? This data would be tremendously helpful for us. Most of the stuff I've seen are for total connections, which while useful, is not detailed enough for us. Thank you!!!

Graphs are really not a good way you visualizing this. You should look at using NetFlow instead.
