Remote monitoring

Important note: Remote monitoring was removed from NET Traffic Meter in version 2.1!

It is possible to capture statistics from another, remote computer on the network. Altough this feature is highly experimental and not recomended it may be usefull to monitor internet traffic if you have many computers connected to an internet server. You can than use the "exclusion" feature and the "capture remote traffic feature" to analyse internet traffic generated by all computers.

 

Before you can connect to a network interface you need to make the remote pc accessible. You can read this documentation on how to prepair the remote pc. Remeber that your firewall may not intercept these traffic packets in order for the remote connection to work.

 

Next, you will need to generate a connection link. You can do this by using the "Remote Network Information" plugin in NETáTraffic Meter on the computer you want to connect to. You can always generate a link manually like it is described here.

 

Finally open the configuration window and click on the "Remote..." button. Now paste or write the rpcap connection link in the text field and press "Connect" to start the connection. If it is unsuccesfull, a connection error is displayed.
