Classic - web monitoring summary?

[Westbranch]

Andrew i tried your netstat -an as well as netstat and it blasted past my eyes so fast I didn't really know it was executed??

how do I get to see what it returned?

[TomW]

Try:

netstat -an|more or netstat -an|less. This chops it into page size lumps of text. Space gets next page.

How much data is being sent while the Local App is open?

FWIW:  3 day average running MyMidnite and the Magnum inverter web data app ( similar to MyMidnite) : 2.47 Mb per day
             1 day as above but with LocalApp open for two hours, plus downloading a 95Kb data file : 4.45Mb

So I think just under 1Mb per hour
Sound reasonable?

thanks Tom, tried both and still just a flash and the command window is gone, poof!

Add:  pulled up a CMD window and it worked ... nothing too much going on there...

You can pipe the output to less or more just like Tom said, or you can dump the output to a file by doing something like:

netstat -an > ispywithmylittleeye.log

the -b option is also useful for associating the connections with actual running processes. On BSD and Linux you'll notice a bewildering array of things but these are almost all local sockets. You'll have to look for the ones marked as a protocol other than UNIX. Use Arin's WHOIS to narrow down the IP services to their allocated sources:

(Put the IP address up in the top right corner box)

As far as Local App data: the local app tries to poll all 380+ Classic registers every 2 seconds or so which amounts to a constant polling of the Classic. 1MB per hour sounds likely but a bit on the low side? It really varies quite a bit with the speed of the PC running the Local App and how busy your network is. And how willing the Classic is not to crash the network every 5 minutes..

To add to the FWIW:
-the remote network only has the classic and the Magnum inverter attached plugged into a Cell modem (NETGEAR MVBR1210C). It has been running unattended for a couple of months without crashing
-While the cell modem connection is pretty slow, the data I downloaded has a 2 second sampling period, consistent with above
-on the receiving end, the network bandwidth and PC speed are both high enough so that they shouldn't have any substantial effect, I think
