MRTG config file for monitoring port 80 and 443 traffic

[Ken Penland_1]

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a config file for MRTG that monitors port 80 and port 443 traffic?

Thanks!

Without the use of SNMP, you have to create the scripts to get the values you want, then set the baseline value to 0 to mrtg can graph the output.
You may want to run a script such as snoop or nettl/tcpdump, which counts/monitors the connections on a certain port for a given time period, then sends the values to mrtg to graph.
