Syslog data was created by afterdark
I am trying to pin down internet usage on our network. There are various tools you can get for this but I have been trying to explore what I can get from my 2920 router. The Data Flow Monitor gives an instantaneous display of which ip addresses are downloading and the Traffic Graph gives a good view of what time of day usage is happening. But the only thing I can log for analysis is the Syslog output.
Looking at the User Access tab on the Draytek Syslog Utility, I can see the time, a local ip address, a remote ip address and the port. However, it is not immediately obvious how I could relate this to usage or the transfer of data if someone was watching video for instance.
Can the router and the syslog system give me the information I need or do I really need some other tool or device to pin down more accurate information of individual computer internet usage?
Thanks.
