Network Monitor

This is a simple network monitoring tool to track the connections going through the device and display real-time graphs of network activity. This tool provides insights into network utilization, including data transfer rates, average rates, and connected ips.

Installation:

Make sure you have Node.js installed on your system. clone this repository and install dependencies using npm:

git clone https://github.com/rasmusaj2/NetworkMonitor.git
cd repository
npm install

Usage:

Run the network monitor tool with optional command-line arguments to customize its behavior:

node networkMonitor.js [options]

Options:

• --debug: Enable debug mode (default: false)
• --maxPeers: Set maximum number of IP addresses displayed (default: 10)
• --seconds: Set seconds displayed on graph (default: 30)
• --size: Set size of unit conversion (default: 1000)
• --rxGraph: Set receive graph icon (default: '@')
• --txGraph: Set transfer graph icon (default: '#')
• --graph: Set combined graph icon (default: '*')
• --interface: Set Network Interface monitored (default: 0)
• --ipv6: Set if IPv6 connections should be displayed (default: false)
• --graphOnly: Decide if only the graph should be displayed (default: false)

Example:

node networkMonitor.js --debug=true --maxPeers=15 --seconds=60

Functionality:

• Displays real-time graphs of network activity.
• Provides detailed network statistics including total, running, current, average, min, and max data transfer rates.
• Lists connected IP addresses along with their transfer and receive rates.

Dependencies:

• systeminformation: Used to retrieve system network information.
