Trafficlogger / News: Recent posts

After a very long time a new release of Trafficlogger is out. It's completely rewritten and some minor bugs are fixed. Please try the new release and report me if you find any bugs.
Please see the changelog and documentation for more information.

I beautified the source-code of Trafficlogger.
While going through the source i made some performance-optimizations and rethought about the summaryfunction.
I found some special cases on which the summaryfunction would react buggy.
So i debugged it and tested it with selfmade logfiles and many special cases.
I hope it will work perfect now.
If you find bugs especially in the monthsummary then please report it to me, i must have to know it.
Your logfiles won't be touched at all if you upgrade, so there won't be any upgrading-problems.
Update it as usual.

Now the stable release from the 0.2er edition is out.
There was only one annoying bug which blows up your logfiles. 0 byte traffic was logged by the beta release, when Trafficlogger gets the SIGTERM-signal if the specified device isn't up.
I changed this, so that 0 byte traffic isn't logged anymore.
Now it seems that Trafficlogger works perfectly and very stable, i haven't noticed any problems.
If you find any bugs please report me.

Now a new version of Trafficlogger comes out.
I rewrote some mainparts of the source.
I have done this to automate Trafficlogger.
Now it runs like a daemon, once started it
logs the traffic for the specified device as
long as the OS is running or until you kill it.
It has a signalhandler so that SIGTERM and
SIGINT will stop it, which is mostly used
by the OS when shutting down.
So you only have to write an initscript to
automate everything in Trafficlogger.
Now Trafficlogger gets his data direct from
the /proc virtual filesystem, you don't need
"ifconfig" or "rm" anymore.
Please test it and send me bugreports,
so i can release a stable release,
even though it works great on my system.

Now, Trafficlogger 0.1.1 stable is out.
There was only a little change.
Now you can easily change the path where Trafficlogger shall search for the configurationscript.

Furthermore the projectpage is up. You can find
there documentation for Trafficlogger which will help
you installing and configuring it.

Now the stable version of Trafficlogger comes out.

There were no bugfixes, because no one has posted any bugs and i haven't found one.
Now the known issue with the "year-change-problem" is solved.
See the ChangeLog for more information.

If you find bugs or if you have problems, please post it to me, i have to know them.

Ok, that's all for now.

Now the new version of Trafficlogger is out.
It allows you now to log up to 999,999,999,999 bytes for each connection. View the ChangeLog for detailed information. If you have suggestions to make Trafficlogger the best then post it in the forum.

Trafficlogger is now out with version 0.0.1 alpha.
Even it is an alpha version it is very stable and runs very good on my system. It is only alpha because i don't know how it works on other systems.

My Linux distribution is Mandrake 8.2.
