I have looked around, but have not found anything to meet our needs. I need something that can log all connections & bandwidth consumption. We need it for analysis: by protocol, source IP (& MAC if possible), destination, etc. Ideally we are looking for something that can produce custom graphs & also uses mysql. All connections go through one server on a bridged connection (2 network cards) so it is easy to pickup traffic. We are not concerned so much with internal LAN traffic as what passes in & out to the firewall. Thanks for you suggestions.

Update: I use Ubuntu 10.04

Previously, I posted a question about IP/host-based network traffic grapher. I am not sure if it will meet all your requirements. Have a look at this post. I tried ntop and it seems to be a very good tool.

okay, I'll have a look at ntop and see if it does what we need. Thanks. – BrNathan Dec 12 '10 at 6:35
Yes, ntop works well. You can have it work with mysql like I wanted, but I will have to figure out exactly how to do it. – BrNathan Dec 12 '10 at 10:31

Try Trisul Network Metering and Forensics : Does everything you ask for and is totally free for a monitoring a 3 day sliding window.

It does not use mysql however.
