NAME
       iograph -- create HTML graphs showing network traffic

SYNOPSIS
       iograph [-i interface] [-o outdir] [-d datafile]

DESCRIPTION
       The iograph program collects network statistics for an interface	of the
       local  host and stores the number of sent and received bytes in a small
       binary database.

       It then creates HTML pages printing the statistics for one day  (hourly
       display),  one  month (daily display) or	for the	past twelve month. The
       HTML pages print	the number of bytes sent / received  together  with  a
       bar graph.

   Options
       -i interface
	       The network interface for which statistics are to be collected.

       -o outdir
	       Directory where to place	the resulting HTML pages.
	       Do not add a trailing slash!

       -d datafile
	       Name of the database file.

   Usage
       iograph	is intended to be run as a cron	job. Add the following line to
       your system crontab(8):

	     0	 *   *	 *   *	  root /usr/local/bin/iograph	-i   ath0   -o
	     /usr/local/www/iograph -d /var/db/iograph.dat

BUGS
       The  intended  interval	is one hour. If	it is called more than once an
       hour, the data point for	the past hour is overwritten with the  traffic
       since the last run.

       On  i386	systems, FreeBSD's network counters are	32 bit long, therefore
       wrapping	at 4 GB.  iograph will produce wrong results if	more than 4 GB
       are transfered within one hour, because it can only detect one  counter
       wrap.
