Captrap Main Page

Captrap is a program for displaying network data transfer information. Different sets of data (mostly graphs) are divided into separate 'views'. Each view can be set to show information about bytes or packets. To get started, try clicking the link for 'Basic Information' or 'Interval Graphs', below.

Choose interval unit (as in "bytes per ---").

Choose start time (24-hour time, as "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss").

Choose end time (24-hour time, as "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss").

x Choose image width and height (in pixels; 800x600 default).

Comma-separated list of caps to display (one for each state).

Choose summing interval (only used by the 'mt' graph)

Choose summing unit (only used by the 'mt' graph)

List of "number:name" pairs for the 'mtpred' graph. Multiple pairs are separated by a ',' (example: '8689718561:last_hour,10038542471:last_day')
