# netproc(8)

process-based network monitoring tool

## NAME

**netproc** - process-based network monitoring tool

## SYNOPSIS

```
netproc [-B] [-c] [-f [filename]] [-h] [-i iface] [-n] [-p udp | tcp] [-v]
        [--si]
```

## DESCRIPTION

**netproc** monitors network traffic and tries to find out which process this traffic belongs to, this is useful to quickly know who is consuming our network resources.

**netproc** currently supports the TCP and UDP protocols over the IPv4 protocol.

## OPTIONS

- **-B, --bytes**

  view in bytes, default in bits

- **-c**

  visualization each active connection of the process

- **--color 1\|2\|3**

  color scheme, 1 is default

- **-f, --file "*filename*"**

  save statistics in file, *filename* is optional, default is 'netproc.log'

- **-h, --help**

  show this message

- **-i, --interface *iface***

  specifies an interface, default is all (except interface with network 127.0.0.0/8)

- **-n**

  numeric host and service, implicit '**-c**', try '**-nh**' to no translate only host or '**-np**' to not translate only service

- **-p, --protocol *tcp*\|*udp***

  specifies a protocol, the default is *tcp* and *udp*

- **--si**

  show SI format, with powers of 1000, default is IEC, with powers of 1024

- **-v, --verbose**

  verbose mode, also show process without traffic

- **-V, --version**

  show version

## RUNNING CONTROL

- **arrow keys**

  scroll

- **s**

  change column-based sort

- **q**

  exit

## EXAMPLES

This command will display the ips / ports of the *udp* traffic of the processes, monitoring all available interfaces, except the loopback, and log a summary in the file "log.txt":

```
    # netproc -p udp -c -f "log.txt"
```

Useful to monitor the file generated in the above command:

```
    $ watch -t -d 'cat log.txt'
    $ watch -t 'cut -c -$COLUMNS log.txt'
```

Running whitout root:

```
    $ sudo setcap "cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+pe" /usr/local/sbin/netproc
    $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin
```
