i was restarting armbian-ramlog.service instead stopping it and starting again
<stipa>
ramlog is ok now, 20MB used on reboot
<stipa>
no more atop leftovers
<stipa>
why it doesn't work with restarting it beat me idk
<steev>
restart just reloads the config, really
<stipa>
i thought it's the same as stop and start again
<stipa>
like, short version of it
<stipa>
one command less
<stipa>
but, tbh, with ramlog i had to restart whole board to accept config change
<stipa>
log2ram*
<stipa>
neither, stop & start or service restart helped with that one

hello guys. can someone recommend to me a nice tool to monitor network usage?
<alekksander>
something is downloading data to my server and i'd like to investigate what and when is doing so. in other words i'm looking for a tool to monitor and log incoming data usage
<stipa>
wireshark
<Myron>
Yep. wireshark. You beat me to it. :-)

Nagios
<alekksander>
fast reply, thanks :)
<alekksander>
do You know stipa, if Nagios can display summary of up/down per application? not just protocol and address
<stipa>
in terminal i like nload and iftop
<stipa>
alekksander: nagios is awesome, it has lots of functionality, i think it can recognize network based applications by their traffic
<stipa>
and list them in some way
<stipa>
it logs
<lanefu>
omg
<lanefu>
nagios needs ot do
<lanefu>
die
<stipa>
never!
<stipa>
but i don't use those stuff anymore, i have a bridge through all my traffic goes
<alekksander>
terminal tools are looking even better (simpler for my simple need)
<lanefu>
`vnstat` is easy for monitoring interface bandwidth consumptin ntop-ng for more depth of looking at flow
<stipa>
and slap nload or iftop on it, enough for me
<alekksander>
i have vnstat but it's more for a bandwith control rather than logging traffic per desired conditions
<lanefu>
define control
<alekksander>
nonetheless vnstat is a great little tool i have on all my systems
<alekksander>
lanefu: what i mean is that it can display amount of data per specific interval, but not much beside this
<stipa>
yeah, vnstat is if you don't have flat internet or smthn like that
<lanefu>
hmm still not quite following, but i think `ntop-ng` is more of what you're looking for
<alekksander>
what is „flat internet”?
<stipa>
without limit of how much you can spend
<stipa>
per month
<stipa>
that is adsl marketing thing
<stipa>
i turn vnstat on when i'm desperate or smthn
<stipa>
when i have to care how much i spend
<stipa>
otherwise it just destroys recording media with logs
<stipa>
in reality something has to log stuff only for debugging purposes
<stipa>
with SSDs it's ok, at least they're silent
<stipa>
when something logs on HDDs it's like, annoying
<stipa>
tick, tick, tick, tick tick
<stipa>
...
<alekksander>
put the damn thing in other room, in a closet or attic and You're free again
<alekksander>
i hide my server (two loud rotating wd disks) in other room AND in the closet
<alekksander>
even simple box can help. if it's stationary pc You can mount the disk in the way it doesn't touch any stiff metal parts, just rubber
<alekksander>
it doesn't do wonders, but helps with the ticks, tocks and clicks
<stipa>
nah, it's half torn laptop that's upside down
