Argus
Audit Record Generation and Usage System (Argus) is a Real
Time Flow Monitor that is designed to perform comprehensive IP network
traffic
auditing.
Argus is run either as a persistant daemon, reading live
packets from a network interface, or as a user program, reading packets
from a packet
capture file. The default, i.e. when it is run without any
configuration, is to run as a daemon.
Argus requires only a few simple configuration variables to do
its work. For
the custom minded, Argus supports a large number of options.
Features include:
- Can be deployed either on the network using a tapping
strategy that
captures all the packets destined to and from the target web server, or
Argus can be deployed on the web server itself
- Provides a
common data format for reporting flow metrics such as connectivity,
capacity, demand, loss, delay, and jitter on a per transaction basis
