This may sound like a stupid answer, but why not use ntop. It will require that you compile the code, but its fairly simple. Remember that you will need libpcap installed on your system since ntop uses libpcap. You can get libpcap from the HP porting center:

Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can use big brother also

It may not be very elaborate, but its good to keep track of network as well as systems..

Hi,

If you have HP-UX MIBs loaded, then you can use MRTG for off-server monitoring of your server's no. of concurrent TCP connections, inbound network traffic and network outbound traffic as well as CPU load, memory utilisation, swap utilisation, etc.

MRTG is downloadable at:
http://www.mrtg.org.

The best part is that because it is a web-based graphical tool, you can present both historical and real-time data as graphs on a website.

Hope this helps. Regards.
