How to monitor bandwidth usage per process?












62















I am using Ubuntu 14.04. My internet connection is pretty slow (512 kbps). Sometimes I see that I have no software running which should download anything from the internet, but the system monitor still shows that some download is going on. So I think some hidden software are causing this. Is there a way I can monitor every software that is using internet?

You can use nethogs Install nethogs tool to monitor all your traffic on an interface.



Install it using



sudo apt-get install nethogs


Now run it using



sudo nethogs <interface name>


For example



sudo nethogs wlan0


enter image description here



For more detail type man nethogs after installing.

    It will refresh the data each 1s

    The iptraf utility is another way to monitor the traffic, provided by the iptraf Install iptraf package. sudo apt-get install iptraf installs it.



    iptraf is available in Red Hat Linux also; run yum install iptraf as root to install it.

      Terminal tool: netstat -tnp . -n option is to show numerical address (ip) to which connection is established, -p is program which has established that connection, and -t lists all tcplimits to tcp connections. Alternativelly, you could use netstat -a > networkscan.txt to output everything into a txt file

        Socket Statistics, ss



        ss is the modern alternative to netstat. Install:



        sudo apt install iproute2


        Usage example:



        watch -n1 sudo ss -ntp
