Hi. Darkstat worked like a charm on my laptop yesterday, for traffic
to/from the laptop. So this morning I've been trying to make it work in the
serverroom.

I've set up a monitoring port on the switch and mirrored a vlan to it. To
this monitoring switch port, I've connected the second nic on a spare
server.

But I can't make it see the traffic:
*Running for* 38 secs*, since* 2012-08-30 08:27:12 UTC+0000*.*
*Total* 0 *bytes, in* 0 *packets.* (2,512,454 *captured,* 2,494,741 *
dropped)

*And so the graphs are blank :-(

I've tried several incantations to no avail:
usr/local/sbin/darkstat -i eth1 -p 5001 --no-daemon --no-dns -l "
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0" --local-only
/usr/local/sbin/darkstat -i eth1 -p 5001 --no-daemon --no-dns -l "
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0"
/usr/local/sbin/darkstat -i eth1 -p 5001 --no-daemon --no-dns

I've even tried assigning a bogus ip address on the monitored subnet to
eth1, but that doesn't help either.

Any suggestions?

with kind regards,
  Bent
