SlimLogger's key to success is that it is a
single purpose utility.
That purpose is to count bytes transferred to-and-from one-or-more sites.
SlimLogger uses a simple but effective configuration system to allow you to specify exactly what constitutes a site. The definition is up to you. If you want to group multiple domains together, you can. If you want to group web and ftp traffic together, you can. On the other hand, if you want to separate out a small piece, you can do that too.
Here is the exact list of types of traffic that can be combined or separated:
- web (http) traffic based on domain name
e.g. www.href.com, demos.href.com, and *.webhub.com
- https traffic based on an ip number
- ftp traffic based on an ip number, regardless of which ports are used
e.g. 123.123.123.123
- tcp traffic coming through one or all ports
e.g. 123.123.123.123 port 0 (for all ports), or port 8001 to monitor only port 8001
- udp traffic coming through one or all ports
SlimLogger tracks the number of bytes of data transferred from the client to the server, plus the amount transferred back from the server to the client. A daily total is kept in an XML database.
A monthly overview report is generated for each site, showing the bytes transferred each day.
SlimLogger includes a web-based console for managing product initialization and troubleshooting.
