KTrafficAnalyzer is meant to provide visual feedback of your current network traffic, similar to tools like DU-Meter. In addition it provides statistics with total down- and upload sums.
Starting with version 0.3.7 KTA supports reading the stats remotely using an SSH-connection. For instructions on how to use that feature checkout the SSHUsage file delivered with KTA.
Of course feedback is more than welcome. There is still more than enough room for improvements. Also checkout the TODO file what I'm already planning - maybe you have ideas what I can add or what might be useful too!
For instructions on how to compile / install it please read the INSTALL file included in the archive.
There are also various RPMs available - just check the download links. Thanks to all the contributors!
Finally a new release of KTA. It is now KDE4/QT4 compatible. Some features like the SSH remote read have been disabled, because the API has changed in such a siginificant way, that I need more time to re-implement those features.
I'm also looking for packagers who would like to help me!
Changelog:
v0.5.2 (13.11.2009):
====================
- InterfaceName is now also saved beyond Interface-Source changes, so switching the Interface-Source will also preserve the selected interface (if it exists)
- KTA now uses Icons from the Oxygen theme
- Improved RingMemory class (handling & drawing more efficent, removed memory leaks)
- Fixed several bugs that occured because of KDE4/QT4 porting
- KTA now reads the default colors from the application-palette (which means default colors should be really your default colors)
v0.5.1 (04.11.2009):
====================
- KTA is now using CMake
v0.5.0 (02.11.2009):
====================
- KTA is now KDE4/QT4 compatible
- Added sourceforge project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ktrafficanalyze/)
v0.4.0 (20.06.2008):
====================
- Added an option to the Systray-Context Menu for reloading the interfaces
- The /sys/class/net/ Interface should now correctly work
- The currently selected interface should now get correctly selected again when re-starting KTA
- The interface settings dialog now has an option to automatically update the list of available interfaces (updated list will be read every second).
- There is now a completely new settings page which allows you to specify traffic limits for as well the daily as the monthly stats. In addition you can specify a command which should be run once the limits are reached.
v0.3.9 (06.03.2008):
====================
- Fixed an error in the Makefile to really automatically compile on Ubuntu systems
- A menu entry is now created for KTrafficAnalyzer (in System->Network)
- The Systray-Popup menu now has proper icons
- Interfaces now can be quick-changed from the systray context menu
- Quick-Change menu now gets correctly updated if an interface goes down
v0.3.8 (24.06.2007):
====================
- Re-Designed some more settings dialogs to look better and make more space for fonts.
- Added Double-buffering
- Changed the interface-icon in the settings dialog to use the "hwinfo" icon
- Adjusted the Makefile to automatically build on Ubuntu systems
I couldn't find a .png, .svg or .xpm file from KTrafficAnalyzer's sources, so the Icon= line is dummy at the moment. I guess you could pick one icon name from oxygen-icons (kde4's default icon pack) if you don't want to make your own. I'll leave that to you :)
I built a deb file for KTA here: http://mrtrandoai.googlepages.com/ktrafficanalyzer_0.5.1-1_i386.deb . It works well in Kubuntu 9.10, except that the icon in System Tray is only a question mark. Have fun!
Here is the deb file for KTA 0.5.2 : http://mrtrandoai.googlepages.com/ktrafficanalyzer_0.5.2-1_i386.deb . It works well on Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10. Have fun!
I installed katrafficanalyzer 0.5.2 in ubuntu 9.1. It is running well but I can't minimize it when start the app, althought I checked "start minimized" in setting. Help me!
Hello
OS - openSUSE 11.1 64bit
After upgrade to 0.5.2-7.1_x86_64 from KDE_Community I can't close/minimize to try (always exit and don't monitoring traffic) and don't remember my stats from earlier version.
Any idea how resolve to this problem ?
P.S. I dont remember which version I have first but work perfect until... I upgrade to 0.5.2-7.1. Is this problem with build for my OS ?
It seems as if the isMinimized function doesn't work in KDE4 (for whatever reason).
However I've changed the code to a workaround for now, and the minimize to tray should work in the next version again.
To get back your old stats, you have to copy all ktastats* files from the old kde3 directory ( .kde/share/config/ ) to the new kde4 dir ( .kde4/share/config/ ) (make sure KTA is not running).
Once done you should be able to display your old stats again!
