KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor

 

KNemo offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows.

For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray. 

 

IMPORTANT: KNemo has to be started using Trinity Control Center/Internet & Network/

Network Monitor. Please do no longer use the KDE Service Manager to start and

stop KNemo. This change was necessary to keep KNemo from starting automatically 

for every user in a multiuser environment.



Features of version 0.4.5 include:

 * support for ethernet (including wireless) and ppp connections

 * the icon shows incoming/outgoing traffic

 * hiding of icon when the interface is not available

 * hiding of icon when the interface does not exist (useful for interfaces that 

   are dynamically created and and removed)

 * automatic detection of wireless extensions for ethernet interfaces

 * left-clicking on an icon displays a status dialog with information about the

   selected interface (2nd click hides dialog)

 * middle-clicking on an icon displays a traffic plotter that was taken from 

   KSysGuard (2nd click hides dialog)

 * configuration via context menu or control center module (Internet & Network/

   Network Monitor)

 * customizable tooltip for quick access to often needed information

 * custom entries in the context menu. Useful to start/stop/restart interfaces 

   or to configure them using external tools.

 * automatic detection of available interfaces (click on 'Default' in the 

   configuration dialog and KNemo will look under /proc/net/dev for interfaces)

 * support for notifications via sound and passive popups

 * KNemo counts the number of transfered bytes and does not depend on the output

   of 'ifconfig' for the total number of transfered bytes. This way  KNemo can 

   even display a hugh amount of traffic while 'ifconfig' has an overflow at 4GB.

 * support for different iconsets for every interface

 * support for daily, monthly and yearly statistics

 * configurable update interval for interface informations

 * support for different backends to gather information
