How to monitor network traffic of running processes

I need a program which monitors network traffic. But like this way: It will show running processes and which IPs and websites are they getting/sending packets. I had such program, but I can't find nor remember its name. All programs I find on google searches returns me same program style which only monitors general network traffic.

The program you need depends on the type of architecture. If you have devices supporting Netflow, this could be very handy to identify bottlenecks or missues. There are just a few good tools for netflow under a low budget, try solarwinds or Pandora FMS.

For SNMP monitoring, probably the most common case, most tools do a good job: cacti, zabbix, pandora fms or nagios. OpenNMS and Pandora FMS have the best management of Traps, and only a few manage v3 properly.

For a mixed scope on monitoring: server, apps and networking, you have less tools, we use Pandora FMS for that reason, can manage netflow, snmp, wmi (for remote server monitoring) and agent based monitoring for unix & windows server.

You can try LSP or WinpCap monito process traffic。 I hope this may be helpful to you.

You can use wireshark on packet level. Netstat on port level (local).

to monitor a network:

  • put a port on the switch as monitor port, and put the device in promiscious mode.
  • use wireshark to see the traffic.

(wireshark was ethereal in the past)
