Description
Simon is an acronym of Surfing IPs monitor.
Simon 2.0 is a real time bandwidth usage monitor for the BFW's webadmin.
SSimon 2.0 measures the bandwidth usage speed of each of the IP's of your network based on a packet capturing library called pcap, pcap is used as basis of the strongest network sniffers available today like iptraf, tcpdump, etc...
Simon 2.0 will monitor the connection usage of each IP in your network too!!!
Simon 2.0 is very easy to use, you just need to install the add-on and fill a list with the IPs you want to monitor.
The Simon 2.0 monitoring engine will only be started when you are seeing the real time monitoring page and is stopped automatically when you left the page.
Instalation
Default
Usage
A new item called Simon 2.0 will appear in your webadmin's menu, click on it.
The first time you see Simon 2.0 you will see a screen like this: 
You need to fill the IPs list you want to monitor.
This is a very tricky and important step. click on the link "[ edit IP list ]"
When you click on the link "[ edit IP list ]" you will need to fill the list this way:
Fill the list one IP by one
be very careful how do you wright the IP
192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3
Do not left white spaces before or after any IP address. for Simon 2.0 is not the same "192.168.0.1" than "192.168.0.1 " note the white space after the ip.
Do not left white lines before or after any IP line
192.168.0.1 <----------Wrong 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 <--------- Nor white lines at the end.
Fill the ip list by ranges
Do not left white spaces nor white lines.
192.168.0.1-254
Do not fill it this way:
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254
Mix the IP listing
Não deixe espaços ou linhas em branco.
192.168.0.11 192.168.0.12 192.168.0.101-150
Associate a name with an IP
Some User:192.168.0.1 Some User2:192.168.0.2
Associate a name with a range of IPs
Some User:192.168.0.1-100
Notes
- Please observe that this is a beta version of an application that has a very complex internal structure, it can jump a bug to your face at any moment, please be patient and post any bug you found.
- The connection usage monitoring is based on the ip_conntrack table, I don't know how accurate is it, just keep in mind that the Bandwidth and Connection usage are estimative.
