Bandwidth monitoring tool needed.

August 21, 2007 4:39 PM

I'm looking for a bandwidth monitoring tool for OSX. I need it to do some specific things.

I need it to do these things:
Keep track of the bandwidth used in the past 24 hours (ie, a rolling count by the minute).
Monitor internal and external bandwidth separately.
Monitor Airport/Ethernet separately/singly.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Try MenuMeters. It does not have a logging function if you are looking for that.

netstat should be able to give you the data you want on a per-interface basis.

Response by poster: Ideally it would be a dashboard widget.

Uhm, methinks you misunderstand dashboard widgets, which only run when the dashboard is active.

Yes, but a widget can display data collected/generated by another program. There are widgets that display network stats, but they don't do everything the poster needs.
