Question: Network traffic meter

[TEWLS]

Is there a way to measure the network traffic to the NLS cluster from within the application?

I am trying to come up with a solution to show outside people the traffic going to the cluster while still being as lazy as possible. Right now I have a separate system with wireshark scanning the network.

Not currently. I'm not entirely sure how you could go about that in a relatively hands-off way without Wireshark or something like Nagios Network Analyzer. Logstash doesn't really have a concept of what sort of throughput it's handling.

One solution is to enable SNMP on your log servers and then monitor them using the Nagios XI Network Switch/Router wizard. Yes this does require you to have a Nagios XI installation but it's a somewhat simple solution.

I had a feeling that would be the case. I might just move wireshark to a STIG'd system and create a webpage that people can access. Thanks for the assist guys; this can be closed up.
