(OSX) Monitor Traffic by IP/Site + Monthly Log

[chickenwingfly]

Hello,

Does anybody know of an app that allows me to monitor traffic going on my Mac, but giving detailed info per website.
For instance I want to know how much bandwidth is wasted on youtube, netflix, and so on.

I find that most apps available are useless for this purpose as they only monitor the usual "Mbs In/Out" and they all seem to do the same.

Little Snitch is close to what I want, but only allows for manual snapshots, there is no monthly log and I assume the same for the competitor HandOff (or w/e).

I guess I could try Wireshark and some heavy scripting but I was wondering if there is something already done out there.

On iOS, Apple itself has this built-in for data usage, which is great.

But on OS X it's a bit harder since you usually connect to the same website on different apps and such, making a "per app" approach not so interesting as a Website/IP approach.

I tried search but most of the time it's basically recommendations for "In/Out" traffic. I can already do that easily with DD-WRT, and I can even go further as to monitor per device by installing some kind of third party plugin.

Thanks for your time!

You could get a Kerio Control box.

Thanks for the reply.

No, I'm looking for software, not really interested in adding more hardware to the pipeline.

Have you tried glances? https://github.com/nicolargo/glances

I haven't read through all the docs - https://glances.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

It might be what you're looking for, it might not, but maybe it helps.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on in a while.
Anyway, no, seems like it will only show the transfer speed and that's it.
However thanks, seems like a pretty cool tool, may try to install it on the RPi for remote monitoring!
